jaPBe 2.5.2.6 - beta-release

[Shannara]

Thanks for the info Unfortunately, jaPBe does not support the #PB_SORT constants that are needed for the SortStructuredList() command:

Ripped from the manual:

Code: Select all

  #PB_Sort_Byte   : The structure field to sort is a byte (.b)
  #PB_Sort_Word   : The structure field to sort is a word (.w)
  #PB_Sort_Long   : The structure field to sort is a long (.l)
  #PB_Sort_String : The structure field to sort is a string (.s or $)
  #PB_Sort_Float  : The structure field to sort is a float (.f)

I correct an error in my indentation modification

My error is on the indentation of function like this

Code: Select all

If a = b : a + 1 : Else : b + 1 : EndIf

You can download the new file, see my previous posts

One bug raised on the last version: jaPBe self correct Data$ into Data.

Because Data is a PB keyword, jaPBe doesn’t admit Data$ notation, equivalent to Data.s …

One suggestion:

What about making a display distinction between:
- folded lines from procedure blocks and
- folded lines by using ;{ and ;} block delimiters ?

For example:
For procedure blocks folding lines, a solid line is used
For ;{ and ;} folding block delimiters, a dote line is used


Line style selection can be made into Preferences.

sorry, but i don't found a function in scintilla to do something like this.

[Dräc]

Ok ! I have submit a request on that way on the scintilla project area.
Perhaps a day…

I have a question. How hard would it be to code some kind of plugin or something for Japbe that could insert macros? Like a lot of people are asking for Macro capabilities (and I think it's planned for v4) so what about some pre-processing thing for Japbe that drops in your defined macros before compiling it?

I know just making a program that reads and replaces things in your *.pb file would be easy enough but it'd be neat if you could add something like... I dunno...

;>MACRO IsEven(X)
;- X % 1
;<

And then anywhere you used IsEven(200) would replace it with "X % 1" before compiling. I know that's a bad format but I just wanted to get the thought out there and see what other people think.

Any way to make jaPBe to automatically include the declare files when running/compiling an app?

At them moment simple with
XIncludefile "all.declare"

That file is only created randomly (it seems) works sometimes and not others. I have it working for one project. but for another it refuses to be created.

(edit): Anyways, when it does work, sometimes it will not auto-declare all the files in the file list, in my case, it includes declare files of 4 out of 11 of the files in my list.

An other suggestion:
A command to split the active window into panes, by using the mouse?
I find that very useful, not you?

All files must be in the same directory and the all declare is only created bevor compile.

[Shannara]

Thanks for the info on the all.declare. All files are in the same dir. It looks like if there is more then a few files in a file list, japbe will only auto-declare the first file (main file) in the list, and only have that one file in the all.declare ... this program is weird. However it's the most advanced for pb/win we have atm

So I ended up having to manually declare every file in the project (many, many), and create an all.declare myself. Not to mention resave as declare everytime I add and remove a procedure. A real pain, but it works 100%.

Here's another bug found. jaPBe does not support Pointers in structures ... Example:

Code: Select all

Structure strA
  MyString.s
EndStructure

Structure strB
  *ptrAA.strA
EndStructure

BB.strB

BB\ptrAA\MyString = "test"

jaPBe will only fix the casing of "ptrAA" if there is an * before it, however PB does not reconize the * before ptrAAv (PB quirk). Therefore when referencing ptrAA, jaPBe does not reconize it.

[GPI]

Code: Select all

Structure strA
  MyString.s
EndStructure

Structure strB
  *ptrAA.strA
EndStructure

BB.strB

BB\ptrAA\MyString = "test"

I think, this is more a bug with PureBasic...

Here's another bug found.

Code: Select all

Structure strA
  MyString.s
EndStructure

Structure strB
  *ptrAA.strA
EndStructure

BB.strB

BB\ptrAA\MyString = "test"

That isn't a bug! You can not assign the string to a structure which does not exists! "*ptrAA.strA" is a Pointer to a structure. Before you can assign the string in the example, you have to assign the address of the structure to "*ptrAA.strA". Try this code:

Code: Select all

Structure strA
  MyString.s
EndStructure

Structure strB
  *ptrAA.strA
EndStructure

BB.strB
AA.strA

BB\ptrAA = @AA
BB\ptrAA\MyString = "test"

Debug BB\ptrAA\MyString

it would be also possible to dynamically create the structure in the Memory:

Code: Select all

Structure strA
  MyString.s
EndStructure

Structure strB
  *ptrAA.strA
EndStructure

BB.strB


BB\ptrAA = AllocateMemory(SizeOf(strA))
BB\ptrAA\MyString = "test"

Debug BB\ptrAA\MyString

If you do not assign the pointer to a structure, then BB\ptrAA is zero. In this case BB\ptrAA\MyString = "test" assumes that a Structure variable.strA is located at address null. And this is not allowed and also does not make sense.
