'migration .. to PB 5.40 LTS', where's UseCR32FingerPrint()?

[Thunder93]

Hi. I've started up an old project which makes use of PB Cipher library.

In the PB help under migration .. to PB 5.40 LTS. It states we have to call Use*FingerPrint() and use FileFingerprint() now.

I'm using PB 5.42 LTS Stable and despite what its documented in its associated PB Help file. UseCR32FingerPrint() doesn't exists.

'[16:08:08] [COMPILER] Line 243: UseCR32FingerPrint() is not a function, array, list, map or macro.'


.... so what gives, was Fred on a drinking spree back when he was enhancing the Cipher library

I would keep going to v5.5b1, UseCRC32Fingerprint() is there.

[Thunder93]

I'm usually quick to grab the betas, at this time, I'm avoiding the beta. Besides the projects I've worked on, the 5.50beta offers nothing for enhancing my type projects. Therefore I like to hold off on 5.50 for now.

Just installed 5.42 back from website, and UseCRC32Fingerprint() is here. I wonder who is drinking here... .

[skywalk]

Yes, it's in 5.42. I think he is confusing the syntax changes made to the cipher lib? I remember recoding some functions when migrating from v5.3 to v5.4x.

[Thunder93]

I see why... The PB help file has spelling mistakes, which I overlooked also .. when copying and pasting

[Thunder93]

from PB Help file....

Code: Select all

CRC32FileFingerprint(): code change 
  ; Old
  Result = CRC32FileFingerprint(Filename$)
  
  ; New
  UseCR32FingerPrint()
  Result.l = Val("$"+FileFingerprint(Filename$, #PB_Cipher_CRC32))


CRC32Fingerprint(): code change 
  ; Old
  Result = CRC32Fingerprint(*Buffer, Size)
  
  ; New
  UseCR32FingerPrint()
  Result.l = Val("$"+Fingerprint(*Buffer, Size, #PB_Cipher_CRC32))

Who does the English pb help file? If Fred.., my drinking remark would still apply.

Hi Thunder93,

the name of the funktion is UseCRC32Fingerprint().

Edit:
Oh, I see you copied from the help file. And the typo was there.

[Thunder93]

Yes but I was only copying from the official PB English help-file. If Fred maintains the English help-file, then he had many beers.

So the post of mine posting contents of the PB-Help file.
