Just wondering which library has increased in size. Maybe he used http library that now uses curl?
I'm using before curl dll but now no need. 200kb is small compared to added feature.

something that i never seen in purebasic but is in c : when you compile, make a warning about orphan variable.
Ex : the variable XXX is define but never use.
It's just a idea.

@supercdr
some kind of a lint program would be fine for Purebasic - either inside the compiler or extern.
But this would require to define some common coding rules before:
no orphan variables,
no dead code,
just one procedurereturn per procedure,
...
MISRA rules or JSF could provide some orientation.
..and ..by the way:
THX Fred, Freak and all of PB team for the great work.
just a hint: checkinstall may need an update.

It is a good idea. It is a pity that the PB is not supported.
Example where necessary.
Code: Select all
EnableExplicit
Procedure.q File_Size(File.s)
Protected Size.q
Size=FileSize(File)
ProcedureReturn Size
EndProcedure
Procedure.q File_Size_2(File.s)
Protected Size,q
Size=FileSize(File)
ProcedureReturn Size
EndProcedure
It seems that these two procedures are identical, but File_Size_2() will return an incorrect result of its file size is greater than 2 GB.
Find this error is difficult.

As a first, single-pass compiler friendly solution:
Code: Select all
procedure test()
beginProtected
a.q
b.s
c.d
endProtected
; ...
endProcedure ; test
or
Code: Select all
procedure test()
var
a.q
b.s
c.d
endVar
; ...
endProcedure ; test

Great update, thanks!
I was testing the CGI library and it seems that the WriteCGIStringN command doesn't accept the string encoding parameter:
Code: Select all
WriteCGIStringN(Response, #PB_Ascii)
Result:
WriteCGIStringN(): Incorrect number of parameters.
Cheers.

There were voices here complaining about big library sizes.
I thought some kind of useless maximum would be interesting to see:
Code: Select all
UseSQLiteDatabase()
UsePostgreSQLDatabase()
UseODBCDatabase()
UseJPEG2000ImageDecoder()
UseJPEG2000ImageEncoder()
UseJPEGImageDecoder()
UseJPEGImageEncoder()
UsePNGImageDecoder()
UsePNGImageEncoder()
UseTGAImageDecoder()
UseTIFFImageDecoder()
UseBriefLZPacker()
UseJCALG1Packer()
UseLZMAPacker()
UseTARPacker()
UseZipPacker()
UseFLACSoundDecoder()
UseOGGSoundDecoder()
InitJoystick()
InitKeyboard()
InitMouse()
InitMovie()
InitNetwork()
InitSprite()
OpenConsole()
Input()
This ended up with 2,248,304 compiled Bytes under 5.40 beta with Ubuntu x86 Linux.
This might be big, but the current PC RAMs range higher. Even Raspberry Pi could work with this...
I have seen other compilers ending up with about 1 MB only for print "hello world".
So...don't worry, be happy.

This api function stopped working in the latest beta:
The error is "Bad parameter type, number expected instead of string."
According to
msdn, the last parameter should be LPCTSTR. What should i do now? Send a pointer instead?

The following changes have been made to the VectorDrawing lib since beta 3:
- The DotPath(), DashPath() & CustomDashPath() commands now have an optional 'StartOffset' parameter
- The 'Distance' parameter of DotPath() has been changed: It now refers to the distance between the center of each dot (not the space between the dots)

Thanks!
However, there is something really wrong with at least some winapi functions.
Try this:
Code: Select all
; this one is ok
MessageBox_(0,"test","test",#MB_OK|#MB_ICONINFORMATION)
; this one will show yes and no buttons if the debugger is on
test.s = "test"
MessageBox_(0,"test" + test,"test",#MB_OK|#MB_ICONINFORMATION)
; this one will die with invalid memory access
test.s = "testtesttest"
MessageBox_(0,"test" + test,"test",#MB_OK|#MB_ICONINFORMATION)
; this one will fail to compile with assembler error (PureBasic.asm [237])
test.s = "test"
MessageBox_(0,"test " + test + "test","test",#MB_OK|#MB_ICONINFORMATION)

Beta 5 is out and only fix one bug with API and string concatenation (which could prevent further testing). On a side note, we have signed the OS X apps since the 5.40 beta, can OS X users tests if it works with gatekeeper activated ? The IDE should open after displaying a warning message without changing the default security features.
