[Implemented] Easier linking of external libraries

This has been discussed some times before but never made its way into
the feature requests IIRC.
It would be nice to ease the linking of external libraries, especially now
that PureBasic (POLINK) supports COFF.
Something like:
Code: Select all
Extern "_foo@8" In "bar.lib" As "Foo(a.l, b.f)"
Don't know about the syntax

I second Traumatics request, it would be very useful indeed.

OOP=Object Oriented Programing

It's a good idea. Something like this ? Any input is welcome.
Code: Select all
Import "YourFavoriteLib.lib"
Function1.l(a.l) [As "_xxx@8" - StdCall/CDLEC ?]
..
EndImport

How about:
Code: Select all
LinkWith "path\file.obj"
CallType functionName[.type] [par1.type [, par2.typ ...]]
eg
CallStd DoTaskA.l a.l, a.l, a.w ; this returns a long
CallStd DoTaskB a.s, a.l, a.b ; this returns nix
CallC DoTaskC.w a.f ; this returns a word
EndLink
If you implement this sort of thing then your choice of a platonic *kissy kissy* or not.

Perfect IMHO!
(err... this would crash btw
)

I know what OOP is, yet don't know what "OOP libs" are supposed to be...

And then of course, you will have to help El Chroni, because such a feature MUST be included in TailBite too

I'll do my homework, including updating TailBite when it's needed without bothering Fred (I hope)

Then it's even better, Tailbite is so good !
Althought, if Fred was agreeing to translate Tailbite to make it into pbcompiler, it would be even better, we would have Userlibraries making ability in Windows/Linux/Mac !!

And the option to include that library in the final exe is possible?

Fred, without trying to be pushy, can you tell us for what release this feature is planned?
