PureBasic Forums - English

PureC++ is an open source collection libraries designed to make the transition from PureBasic to C++ easier. The libraries allow a PureBasic programmer to use some PureBasic functions in C++. At the moment this is a Win32 only project.

I am not connected to the above, but stumbled on it this evening and thought I would share.

thanks for sharing

It seems that the name is actually a shortened form of 'PureConsole++', or maybe those just happen to be the only functions provided so far.

I still don't get where does the transition part comes in. Having limited experience with C++, couldn't a PureBasic DLL just be created and then called from C++? Why the need to create C++ versions of the PureBasic libraries? I would have thought that many solutions would already have been created to do the same things in C++ code.

Note: I'm not ragging, just some observations.

To give the same easy functionality that PB gives? Why create DLLs in PB and use them in C++ when C++ can do it itself

Nice find Kuron. Would be nice if it had more commands though

I don't know, and I have not looked at the product and do not plan to. I simply stumbled on the site, pasted the URL and description from the site here since it may be of interest to other users.

Of course.

I hope that it's not just a wrapper for the PureBasic libraries.
Fred would be VERY interested if it were, as it's illegal. Hmm.

Well if you looked you can see the source code there, what looks to be standard C++ code and some winapi.

It would not be illegal, but it would be against the TOS.
