Converting from C, need help

[Seymour Clufley]

Can anyone tell me what "static inline void" would translate to in PB?

And would this:

Code: Select all

double s[16]

translate to:

Code: Select all

dim s.d(16)

?

The code is mostly wrapped inside a "namespace". Should I just ignore that?

That's the return type of a function, right? Then it would be nothing in PB:

Code: Select all

And would this:

Code: Select all

double s[16]

translate to:

Code: Select all

dim s.d(16)

?

No. The C array is static with 16 elements, while the PB array is dynamic with 17 elements. Having one element too much usually won't hurt, though.

The code is mostly wrapped inside a "namespace". Should I just ignore that?

Yes.

Thanks, Trond! That's very helpful.

Could you also explain some other parts...

Code: Select all

m4::id(s)

"m4" is a namespace, "id" is a function and "s" is a double array. So, in PB speak, is that code simply calling a procedure?

Code: Select all

assert((dx*dx + dy*dy)<1e-10);

The code has a line "include assert.h" and this is the only line of code that makes use of it. If I understand Wikipedia correctly, assert.h is just a debugging macro. So again, can I just ignore this?

Code: Select all

for(size_t j=0; j<4; ++j)
    {
        for(size_t i=0; i<4; ++i)
    {
        printf(m[i+4*j]);
    }
}

It's the first line I'm not sure of, as it seems to be using two variables (size_t and j) instead of just one.

Thanks again for your help, Trond.

I suggest, this is the true PB equivalent to an static array in C....

Code: Select all

Structure tDoubleArray
   nValue.d [ 16 ]
EndStructure

Define.tDoubleArray MyArray

MyArray\nValue [ 0 ] = 1

Depending on what to do, for some cases, in PB i would do:

Code: Select all

DataSection
!s:
!rq 16
EndDataSection

And then refer to s label as it was the variable.

size_t is just the typename and means j is of the type size_t (which is probably the same as unsigned long int).
