NSLog problem with PB6

[mrbungle]

I can test it though which log would I be looking at?

To see system logs, open Console app, press "Start" on top, input "PureBasic" in the search field, then pick any code example in this topic that works for other people (like the last one from mk-soft), then run it.

If I'm looking at the expected output, I see the following (M2 Macbook Air):

Output: (null)

I used the following code:

Code: Select all

 Macro CocoaString(NSString)
  PeekS(CocoaMessage(0, NSString, "UTF8String"), -1, #PB_UTF8)
EndMacro

Macro CocoaCString(NSString)
  PeekS(CocoaMessage(0, NSString, "cStringUsingEncoding:", #NSUTF16LittleEndianStringEncoding))
EndMacro

Macro CocoaAllocString(String)
  CocoaMessage(0, 0, "NSString stringWithBytes:", @String, "length:", StringByteLength(String), "encoding:", #NSUTF16LittleEndianStringEncoding)
EndMacro

ImportC ""
  NSLog(format, message)
EndImport

Define format = CocoaAllocString("Output: %S")
Define message.s = "Test: " + FormatDate("%HH:%II:%SS", Date())

NSLog(format, @message)

Thanks! Then this should be a bug in arm compiler, I'll create a bug report later.

[mrbungle]

No problem!

Try the delay ...
If the programme ends too quickly, the log does not arrive.

For format string: https://developer.apple.com/library/arc ... fiers.html

Code: Select all

Macro CocoaString(NSString)
  PeekS(CocoaMessage(0, NSString, "UTF8String"), -1, #PB_UTF8)
EndMacro

Macro CocoaCString(NSString)
  PeekS(CocoaMessage(0, NSString, "cStringUsingEncoding:", #NSUTF16LittleEndianStringEncoding))
EndMacro

Macro CocoaAllocString(String)
  CocoaMessage(0, 0, "NSString stringWithBytes:", @String, "length:", StringByteLength(String), "encoding:", #NSUTF16LittleEndianStringEncoding)
EndMacro

ImportC ""
  NSLog(format, message)
EndImport

Define format = CocoaAllocString("Output: %S")
Define message.s = "Time: " + FormatDate("%HH:%II:%SS", Date())

NSLog(format, @message)

Delay(1000)

[deseven]

Try the delay ...

No luck with that either (with ARM application).

[mrbungle]

Same issue: Output: (null) even with the delay on an ARM CPU

[mrbungle]

Not sure if it matters but by default I set the PB6 compiler to optimize code.

[deseven]

Nope, I have "Optimize generated code" unchecked and it doesn't work anyway.
I created a bug here.
