PureBasic 6.20 is out !

[Little John]

Out of interest, is there a demonstration of work that's been done within the realm of mobile applications with Spiderbasic, even something very simple to inspire others to make a start?

Maybe you'll find something on the SpiderBasic forum.

By skimming the possible ideas to integrate into PureBasic (except 3D), there will be nothing more to add.
One day, we may have a "PureBasic 9 Integral"...

Yeah, yeah, I see it around version 9, I don't know why.

IsPack() is fully missing in 6.20, added only to online manual(.chm file also missing whole page)

P.S. btw, would someone be able to fix IDE syntax highlight please?
P.P.S. Also figuring out occasional IDE crashes(freezes) after 6.10 release, can't get specific steps...

Please open regular bug reports, we can't track these properly here

WebWiewProxy - there's not a typo in here? WebViewProxy?

Already reported here.

Sometimes this happens.
For example, in version 5.50, a line appeared in the history

- Added: #StringConstant$ syntax support, to get the address of a string constant

But it was never implemented. Later this line disappeared from history.

PB 6.20 and Ogre1.4 can run over macos catalina?

sorry for the late reply
normally the bug with macs is fixed
can you confirm?

Sorry pf_shadoko i was very busy, no work over macos catalina 10.15.7.
Initengine3D() no run.
ohhhhh!!
Try with if initengine3d() but not..

Just checking, PureLibrary does not support inline assembly yet right?
Compiling this old code returns an error.

Since the C backend is used when compiling, you must use inline C syntax.

Code: Select all

; QuickHelp  GetCPUID() - Returns the CPU's Processor ID.
ProcedureDLL.s GetCPUID()
  Protected eax.l, edx.l
  
  !__asm__ __volatile__ (
  !".intel_syntax noprefix;"
  
  !"mov eax, 1;"
  !"cpuid;"
  
  !".att_syntax" 
  !:"=a" (v_eax), "=d" (v_edx)
  !);
  
  ProcedureReturn Hex((edx << 32) | eax, #PB_Quad)
EndProcedure

Correct, currently PureLibrary creation in PureBasic is limited to the C backend. So you can use inline C, but not inline Asm.

[skywalk]

With the C optimizer, native code gets very close or exceeds asm.

thanks breeze4me... your code works.
