SMC, yeah I agree. Except for scoping (and gosub) everything else will generally be the same as .15/.16/.17(dep)/.18(dep). The fblite dialect has been added to the compiler (in SVN), and it's looking solid so far, imo. I checked out OHRRPGCE , which is currently using 0.18.x(deprecated) for their pr...

Thanks, SMC. > Will all the new non-oop stuff be available? Yes, data types (32-bit integer, byte, short, pointers, etc) will be same as fb dialect, plus multithreading, ImageCreate, anonymous types, and all that jazz should work. The main change is to scopes, which makes fblite have the exact same ...

fblite: -lang deprecated revival
A while back I asked what it would take to get users up to date on FreeBASIC. Well, here is a plan for a dialect that the FB Dev-Team would be willing to support long term. Same as fbc-0.15 (or current deprecated dialect) except the following: 1) Proposed dialect name is 'fblite'. To use it, pass '-...

If there is no fancy cursor stuff and you are using a zstring, you could just set the last character to chr(0), effectively removing the last character, since chr(0) marks the end of a zstring. For example, dim k as string dim buffer as zstring ptr dim n as integer, c as integer const MAX_LEN = 20 b...

Depends on what you mean by updated. In FBIDE, you can choose View | Settings | FreeBASIC and change the location of the fbc compiler, location of the help file, and command options passed to the compiler. As for the IDE itself, I guess the last sources were lost before committed to CVS. See this me...

SCREENRES always uses 8x8 as the character size. SCREEN uses one of the character sizes in that table (yeah, default should be indicated). The character size is indirectly set with the WIDTH statement. WIDTH() can also be used as a function to get number of columns and rows: SCREEN 13 Dim As Integer...

Nodtveidt, thanks for the email. That's the first big test of -lang deprecated I have seen for while. I think we can make some progress from that. Lachie touches on a good point regarding backwards compatibility with libraries: breaks in binary compatibility cannot be undone. burger2227 makes mentio...

DEF SEG is technically possible, but what is missing is the cross-platform emulation layer. (bios data area will be loads of work). More info: http://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10297 I can repsect that some users want to continue using older versions of FB that work for them, but imo ad...

dinokilla, if you want to get an idea of the differences between QBasic, QB45, FreeBASIC and its dialects you might find these tables useful: http://www.execulink.com/~coder/fb/docs/fb_compare_keywords.html http://www.execulink.com/~coder/fb/docs/fb_compare_feature.html Each keyword links to the on-...

seb, 1 2 3 4 5 6 6 7? Thanks, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BASIC_programming_language burger2227, you are absolutely correct: Want to get a job in programming? *Basic* probably won't help. And yes, FreeBASIC libraries need to be recompiled due to name mangling bugs. Please send your cheques payable ...
