You can make a wrapper of Purebasic commands if they are for your use only.

The english doc is finished, you can grab it here: www.purebasic.com/beta/PureBasic.chm so there is no excuse to not use the beta anymore

. Feel free to tell us if there is something missing..

Then why isn't it PureBasic 3.93? *grin*

As soon as I get the source to COMLIB or get in touch with aXend, I'll be using it...

I had this construction in my code, which was compiling OK on 3.92:

Code: Select all

CopyMemory(@UserGUID, *AppDesc + OffsetOf(DPN_APPLICATION_DESC,guidApplication), SizeOf(GUID))

Now, with 3.93 beta 3 it doesn't compile anymore. Compiler complains about a Syntaxe Error in the expression. Am I missing something?

Ok... the problem seems to be with OffsetOf() function.

This code also doesn't work:

Code: Select all

Structure Test
  X.l
  Y.l
EndStructure

Address = OffsetOf(Test,Y)

Debug Address

Compiler complains about a Syntaxe Error in the line of OffsetOf(). Was that function removed from the language core?

No, the syntax changed =>

Thanks! Would not figure it out on my own...

@Derlidio

I think the syntax has changed, or at least i asuming that from reading other post on this forum today.

The new syntax seems to be like this:
OffsetOf(structure\item)

so your example would look like this:
Address = OffsetOf(Test\Y)

Ah..but what about the other use for .lib files?

Ah, the new sort functions are good, but the whole lib would be even more complete if there were two more functions with callbacks:

Code: Select all

UserSortStructuredArray(ArrayName(), @SortProc() [, Start, End]))
UserSortStructuredList(ListName(), @SortProc() [, Start, End]))

Where the SortProc() could look like this (very simple example, the procedure though is meant to be used in more complicated situations):

Code: Select all

Procedure SortProc(*a.myStruct, *b.myStruct)
  If *a\myElement > *b\myElement
    result = 1
  ElseIf *a\myElement < *b\myElement
    result = -1
  Else
    result = 0
  Endif
  ProcedureReturn result
EndProcedure

Hera a simple "error" in the new manual (see history):

Added: KeyboardMode() (wasn't in the doc)

Yes, now it is in the doc

With other languages, C or Basic's, there is no such thing that userlibs (static libs) need to be recompiled, the only thing to watch for are cdecl or standard calls.

I'm sorry to bring up this thread again and being OT but I really had to smile while
reading this on the freebasic site:

Code: Select all

Version 0.12b released

[chged] IMPORTANT: the format of the internal string descriptor was modified to speed up concatenation of large strings, so you MUST recompile all the old code, don't reuse object files compiled with older versions (below v0.12b) and rebuild DLL's created in FB if they return or process STRING's passed to/from client EXE's (v1c)

Ok, I know what comes next: "Hey, it's still beta!"
