c backend, ability to define C functions.

[jassing]

Would be nice to be able to define a C function w/in PB code...

Code: Select all

BeginCSection
! int testC( int i ) {
!   return(++i);
! }
EndCSection
Procedure test()
  Define v 
  !v_v = testC( 3 ); 
EndProcedure
test()

Hmm. maybe not "csection" considering it might be taken the wrong way for the procedure by similar name. (BeginGlobalC?)
and yes, I know I can define it inside a procedure...

Not unless you want to get yelled at by Karen.

All that's needed is to have
#include and #define moved out of the main scope.
That would then facilitate you writing a c function and calling it.

I read that as "yelled at by the Kraken" - and I thought, yes, as a sailor, I am very much afraid of the kraken.

May be an HeaderSection/EndHeaderSection would be OK, so it could work for all backends.

that'd work & be a nice addition. Thank you for considering it.

yes if you do that it will solve a lot of the problem with c backend.
