I am 2003 - though the aside says 2005 (out of a small account mess) - and a daily user, though largely absent in these pages owing to time constraints. So, contextually,

Yes, absolutely.

I can say I have an idea to try and see I will be able to use the C intermediates to code for MenuetOS - just to see if it works well.

That not work with MenuetOS, because its not Linux base

Not in that sense: I do not expect to "compile from PB and directly run". MenuetOS uses special functions to "Define and draw window", "Putpixel", "Get key" etc. ( http://menuetos.net/syscalls.txt ). I had ideas to have some code process intermediate PB output to link the two worlds, of our "comfortable largely hi-level coding" and those syscalls - to see if one could comfortably write the hi-level way for MenuetOS.

In a way, that is to see if tricks could be deployed to adapt the intermediates to create a partial custom backend, and see if this is enables for more comfort than just writing C (or assembly).

Of course nothing vital, but if a rapid, time efficient (within all constraints of good practice) coding worked for those arcane but promising systems (small, lean, controllable, trustable - where do you get that today?), they could be actually populated with applications, towards full usefulness.

EDIT: I mentioned MenuetOS. But the same is valid for BeOS/Haiku, and probably others. Maybe the forthcoming¹ PB intermediates can be adapted to facilitate coding for less mainstream systems, maybe not... It's worth taking a look.

In the actual beta 3 with the C Backend the keyword "data" is supported?
I need it to test the new beta version with my code.

Thanks

PureBasic - Linker error
error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Mac OS 10.13.6

It's fixed for beta 4

Beta 4 is out ! Here is the change log:

waw, finally a revision with some new in 3D stuff !
Many thanks

A very big thank you (and a bit late but especially for the raspberry pi support) a dream come true.

Please update the manual, for example, I can't use material 3D related commands.

Threads are fully functional with the C backend in Beta 4 release?

Yes, works fine

Yes, works fine

I have a strange problem my program compiles fine without errors and works correctly with C backend and the ASM backend but if I chose to enable the option to optimize the code, in the compiler options, the program generated with the C backend stops to working. My program makes an heavy use of threads, so I thought this was the cause of my problem. I don't get any debug error message if I enable the debugger.

The GCC optimisation tends to optimise a little too much.
What does not work, for example, is the declaration 'Procedure.b xxx()' as a Boolean function.

Otherwise create a C-backend bug report with a runnable short code.
