  • Example1 Features:
    • public get/set methods
    • constructor
    • instanciate/free object instance
    Example2 Features:
    • private method used by public method
    • overriden default FreeInstance method
    • static method to count objects

Perhaps a new reason for like OOP a day :wink:
Thanks for sharing 8)

I'm looking for elegant way to manage type casting

Wow, that seems to be perfect & tiny user-solution for some basic OOP like "class modules". Don't know why I didn't seen this thread before (just remember how tried outdated precompilers for PB 4.x).
Hope it will work fine on practice. Thanks for posting anyway

What exactly does this lines:

Code: Select all

       Macro UseInstance(This) ; provide THIS instance to module method
          CompilerIf Not Defined(_CONCAT(*th, is), #PB_Variable)
             Protected This
             CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_Processor=#PB_Processor_x64
                ! MOV [p.p_this], Rbp
             CompilerElse
                ! MOV [p.p_this], Ebp
             CompilerEndIf
          CompilerEndIf
       EndMacro

I am also quite interested in what that Macro does.

Well I had to spend some time trying to understand how all this magic works before using it.
There are some limits if I'm not wrong:
- cannot use static variables inside of class methods : they will be the same for all instances
- cannot define private properties inside class : they will be the same for all instances

So, all properties should be defined in "public" and always are visible. That is a bit unhandy, but in total not a minus, cause it follows from authors system is not complicated and there is no full inheritance of all class code, so no speed lost / memory overhead.

What about *this pointer, that's so damn nice hack 8) . I just got it gets instance-related structure pointer from EBP register [if 32-bit app] on every method call and defines it as protected variable inside method, but how it all works exactly on lower level I didn't get. Maybe someone sitting with assembler can explain.

After other tests, just exposed some another limit: passing structure fields as arguments to public methods leads to memory corruption and Purifier's stop message "Overflow in the global data block."

For example, try such code with "Example 2":

Code: Select all

Structure Problem 
	A0.l
	A1.l
	A2.l
	A3.l
	A4.l
	A5.l
	A6.l
	A7.l
EndStructure
Global F.Problem

*second\Move(F\A0, 20)
Very sad, that limit seems to be serious crap unlike previous. If sending regular variables (not structure members) there is no such problem.

I spend this day messing with assembler and trying to find a way to get pointer of structure which calls method, but this all seems to be a bullshit.
Sometimes it's pointer comes in EBP/RBP register, in such cases this Simple OOP works fine.
In some other cases I was able to get address this way, it also was fine

Code: Select all

Protected Mark.l ; declared right at procedure beginning
CopyMemory(@Mark - 8, @This, 4)
But in all others PB gives such a shit where that address not even mentioned in stack or registers and this breaks any attempts to make simple OOP such way, of course if you don't know PB inside.
This all makes me tired and angry, cause I was counting on such a simple and nice realization to allow using classes. What a stupidity to waste all such realizations instead of add one of them to language and let it be for those who needs? Not anyone uses PB only to play with assembler and pointers at long winter nighs, damn.
That's all really sad cause I definitely need some very basic classes in my game (else I will drown in all the shit of procedures or ugly pseudo-oop in C style).
