@Fred: Any info about the delivery of first PB 4.0 beta ???

[va!n]

i dont want see that fred must hurry up to present us a first beta or final version of v4 for xmas! I would more like to wait some moths longer (let it be march 2006), if fred has the time and can fix bugs, improve things wihtout any time problems when it must be finish!

Personally i can wait until eastern if the next version has a lot improvements, bugfixes... having a stable version is more important as having a preview/beta to xmas...

i would vote that we (the comunity) give fred a big present for xmas! This present is, that he dont must hurry up and work 24h days on purebasic! The present is, that he can pause this project while xmas for having some free time (holiday) and that he still continue the project after xmas

But we could also test programs without ANY output:

Code: Select all

a = 5
b = a * 4
while a = 20
wend

So if you aren't lazy, you really don't need any lib

But then, how could we check if it looped the correct number of times?

use inline assembly to call the api

We do our best to make this happen, so wait and see

But then, how could we check if it looped the correct number of times?

The infinite loop is wanted , so if the calculation really results in 'a' being
20 the program will not end and we are sure that the calculation was correct
So if you have to check whether the compiler compiled correctly, you can
check with an infinite loop (assuming the while-loop works correctly)
