TailBite 1.0 Preview, soon in PureProject and PureArea

ABBKlaus · Post by **ABBKlaus** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 5:46 pm

@netmaestro : you are right, it is based on Tailbite 1.3 PR 1.8 (29. May 2006)
@srod the following issues are fixed :

- PureLibrary is missing ":System"
- Div64 would be renamed to a Library function (in my case pdf_Div64)
- Unicode switch added (/UCOD)
- Threadsafe switch added (/THRD)
- TailBite Installer Build.pb modified for PB4

Regards Klaus

@ABBKlaus,
I d/l the Ldb lib file from purearea tonight only to find it wasnt compatible with PB4, so I go through source & update to make work, then get PureLibrary is missing ":System" error when i run my old tailbite. 1 quick look here & you have already fixed that for me, so thank you very much

This appears to work pretty well. If anyone can get it working with PB 4's optional parameters we'll be just about there. Where's El_Choni gone? He hasn't abandoned this project, I don't think so anyway.

He is not gone :roll:

I've write them to Tailbit and he wrote me:

Hi,

I haven't had time to fix TailBite lately. I can't tell you when I'll be able to do it. All I can tell you is that as soon as I find a couple of days, I'll do it.

Until then, sorry for the trouble: too much work! Sad

Regards,

For those who have tested this new version :
Is that ABBKlaus's Tailbite stable ?

For ABBKlaus :
- sorry fot this lack of trust in you but i am accustomed to El Choni
- do you continue to work on it ?
- If yes, on what are you working ?

It's as stable as El_Choni's last version (only a few changes, see the sources) : I could compile all my libs with El_Choni's version without any problem.

You have the sources, so there is no trust problem ... And on the other hand ABBKlaus is making great userlibs, so I think he knows what he is doing.

Tailbite 1.3 PR 1.81 supports not the default values on a function.

The application wich use the userlib have to write all parameters.
-> The default parameters also!

For default values, you have to use the 'old' Tailbite method and not the new 'PB4' method.

Tailbite help wrote:You can make your function accept variable arguments. To do so, you must include two or more ProcedureDLL's with the same name and an index number:

ProcedureDLL MyFunction(arg1, arg2)
result = Pow(arg1, arg2)
ProcedureReturn result
EndProcedure

ProcedureDLL MyFunction2(arg1, arg2, arg3)
result = Pow(arg1, arg2)/arg3
ProcedureReturn result
EndProcedure

But, this works only for one default parameter correct. For more, you have to correct the desc file!

In PureSMTP the function PureSMTP_SendMail() has 4 optional parameters and it works.

There is a little problem with the quick-help text though, which is PureSMTP_SendMail([ilTo.s, MailFrom.s, Subject.s, MsgBody.s [, Attachments.s [, UserName.s [, Password.s [, HeaderAddon.s]]]]) instead of PureSMTP_SendMail([MailTo.s, MailFrom.s, Subject.s, MsgBody.s [, Attachments.s [, UserName.s [, Password.s [, HeaderAddon.s]]]])

I correct the desc-file and recompile it with a batch

gnozal · Post by **gnozal** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 12:15 pm

Too many libs and updates, I forget to do it most of the time ... And it works anyway.

I guess someone will have to fix this bug.

@ABBKlaus: have only just gotten around to using your modified version of Tailbite to create threadsafe/unicode libs. Works brilliantly, far easier than my old way of creating such libs.

Excellent job, well done and thanks.
