[Implemented] Doubles

Hi,

what I really miss in PureBasic are Doubles! I come form VisualBasic and I really need Doubles...

Plz include them in PB...

Greetz,
AndyX

This has been requested so many times... And every time I agree we need doubles.

When do you think you'll have doubles ready ?

For doubles was asked before - more than 3 years ago

...seems as if doubles could come with PB 3.0
oops

I should delete such compromizing threads

Yeah. It deserves a DOUBLE deletion.

...or perhaps a QUAD-time-deletion...

Ah screw it just use a time machine and go into the future to get the latest and greatest PB 11.0!!!

Well...let's keep this thread on top, so Fred can't forget it this time

Hmm... I'm not sure if this is right but wouldn't it be possible to use inline assembler to define datatypes like double?
I went to

http://www.flatassembler.net

for pure fun (got to love that word

) to see if they did any OpenGL programming and I found converted header-files for OGL. In that header file (gl.inc) they declared datatypes like this:

Code: Select all

; Datatypes


			GLenum		equ dd
			GLboolean	equ db
			GLbitfield	equ dd
			;GLvoid
			GLbyte		equ db
			GLshort 	equ dw
			GLint		equ dd
			GLubyte 	equ db
			GLushort	equ dw
			GLuint		equ dd
			GLsizei 	equ dd
			GLfloat 	equ dd
			GLclampf	equ dd
			GLdouble	equ dq  ;LOOK DOUBLES!!!
			GLclampd	equ dq  ;SAME HERE!!!

So, if one use inline asm. that should be possible right? And therefore you should be able to use commands like glOrtho() in OGL that require double.
Just a thought...
