PureBasic Forums - English

In the german forum we discussed the following problem:
As you can see, the last sizeOf command returns the size of the
structure TestStruc and not of the Variable TestStruc.POINT.

In C for example, you use something like these to distinguish between the
name of a structure and the name of a variable:

sizeOf (struct TestStruc) ; returns the size of the structure
sizeOf (TestStruc) ; returns the size of the variable TestStruc (.point)

So, it would be cool if there would be a syntax like the following suggested
by MVXA:

sizeof(TestStruc)
sizeof(TestStruc, #PB_Variable)
sizeof(TestStruc, #PB_Structure)
sizeof(TestStruc, #PB_Interface)

Allowing sizeOf with no parameter guarantees compatibility to
old code.

There karbon had the idea, i repeated it, and Fred said it was good.
What happened with that, Fred

@Psychophanta:

Thanks for the link and sorry for the double posting.



@Fred:

Take your time. This isn't very urgent IMHO. But maybe you could think about
adding this on your to-do-list

You don't have to be sorry for the double posting - the link is from 2003

What about that?

Code: Select all

ToDoList = (NewFunctions + BugFixes) - SizeOf(TakeYourTimeFred)

I just wanted to do a reverse psychological trick. Everyone demands
bugfixed and new functions as soon as possible from Fred. I tried it the other
way around by saying "Take your time, Fred".

Well ... it was just a try - will see if it works
