New version PB

[User_Russian]

I would like to learn about the plans of developers (Fred and team) about the new features PB.
I ask, not out of curiosity, but rather to discuss the relevance of the new features. Unfortunately accumulated a lot of topical requests for new features, which for many years not yet added to the PB. For example, unsigned variables, logical shift variables, support thiscall and fastcall, and much more.
I would like to know whether it will be implemented and in what form? For example, in PowerBasic have unsigned variables. What PureBasic it worse, that it is impossible to implement?
It would be great if the community decides which new features will appear in the new version.

I also want to know.
  And is there any sense in our proposals, or Fred and the team themselves are sufficient and the opinions of others are not interested?

For example, in PowerBasic have unsigned variables. What PureBasic it worse, that it is impossible to implement?

Obviously it's not impossible, about the reason why has not been implemented you already asked it has been already answered:

I would like to know whether it will be implemented and in what form

http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 66#p373166

Unless something changed in their mind in the meantime, that's it.

It would be great if the community decides which new features will appear in the new version.

So they could tell Fred what to do with his own product ? Add this and this and that ?
You can already tell what you would like to happen in the features request forum, that's how you vote for it.
How can you expect that to change ?

disclosure: all my requests are the greatest and want all of them implemented before anyone else's

Some remarks in addition to what luis already wrote ...

unsigned variables

PB already has some unsigned variable types: .a, .c, .u.
So please don't spread misinformation, which has the potential to confuse new PB users.

logical shift variables

What is that?

Obviously it's not impossible, about the reason why has not been implemented you already asked it has been already answered:

But can make simplistic. Most often, the problem arises when comparing variables. Example. http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 79#p414979
Agree, a memory address can not be negative! But in PB is not so!
To solve the problem is quite simple. Need a command, similar to Bool(), but interprets all numbers as unsigned.

Code: Select all

*p1 = 1234
*p2 = $FFFFFFFF

if Unsigned(*p2 > *p1)
  Debug "OK"
Else
  Debug "Error"
EndIf

PB already has some unsigned variable types: .a, .c, .u.

Are there any unsigned variables, similar types: .l, .q, .f, .d, as well as unsigned pointers?

What is that?

About the fact we don't listen to feature requests:

http://www.purebasic.fr/english/search. ... mit=Search

Every topic renamed with [Implemented] in the title had their way in PB, and it's actually 823 topics (some are duplicates, but still).

[User_Russian]

Yes, you have many requests Implemented. I do not deny it.
But some code in PB is difficult to write. Comparison of sign variables as unsigned, necessary to do with using inline assembly.
No logical shift, which also have to solve using inline assembly.
This problem is known for several years, but has not yet been solved (to solve it simple) and we have to use WinAPI. http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... =3&t=53212

Some more interesting requests.

You can look yourself in the reference manual. The answer is "No".

However, in your first post you wrote

for many years not yet added to the PB. For example, unsigned variables

... and that is misleading, since there are unsigned variables in PB.

logical shift variables

What is that?

Oh, you probably mean logical shift operators ...

Yes.
Inaccuracy due to the translation into English.

You may not be qualified enough to discuss such features with the compiler / library / language developers.

You said you have no idea about compiler construction, so why do you think the PB developers should talk about new features and decisions with you,
so you could decide what comes in and what not? PB developers have other things to do, than talking to kids with no experience in everything.

Danilo, no, not to me personally (otherwise written in PM), with the community.

[kryptonn]

User_Russian, why you write that you from Russia? You start tell lies else at registrations.
You there never were in Russia, you are birth in Republica Moldova, you from Moldova, little village Рыбница, Rottenfishplace.
You not User_Russian, your name is Moldovanka_User.

[Danilo]

Danilo, no, not to me personally (otherwise written in PM), with the community.

That's what the 28.000+ postings within 4.000+ topics in "Feature Requests and Wishlists" is about.

kryptonn, Fred had already warned you! http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 08#p369908
