Now one remain problem is: could we agree on a basic editor to be added to the 145MB package? No, because only nOObs request that and, they are a dwindling minority, compared to all the others. Who don't have the intent to download anything else, but the pure compiler when it's updated. (They have ...

Not really certain except: on GCC's website it states that only up to -O 2 is considered 'production code ready'.
Whatever that may mean to say ...
AFAIK, FB-devs also use -O 2 (to compile FB's internal libraries).

Try it with optimisatioms: -gen gcc -O 2 (capitalized "O", doesn't work with FBIDE!)
Don't use -O 3 (or higher) because then, -vec 2 is back 'in play'.

Excuse me saying so, but using "qb" dialect isn't, what I'd consider a translation. (it is "the easy way out" or strictly speaking a "last resort" option, only for "historic" codes) The learning effect is close to zero, if you want to learn coding in current F...

Well, not having 'OPTION BASE 1' isn't preventing the use of 1 based arrays. You'll just have to declare them that way: Dim As Long Ch_Board(1 To 8, 1 To 8) ' just as example 2D array Seems to me to be less painfull, than converting everything to BASE 0. Mind you, that I still think it a generally g...

Cool stuff. Thx for sharing.

Hi Vortex, Thanks for the assembly versions. My explicit purposes where: ⋅ avoid inline assembly to avoid portability issues (aka: FB code only) ⋅ incorporate range check and indicate 'argument errors' ⋅ leave 'behind the scenes' stuff to the compiler ⋅ not ha...

Sometimes we are in a position where bit rotation is usefull, but FB has no equivalent. In assembly language there are the rol and, ror statements to do that. The rotate_procs.bi file contains the FB rotl() and, rotr() Functions for: ULong or ULongInt data-types (overloaded and priva...

It's the 'examples' directory/folder in your FBC installation (typically).

It is from my point of view illogical, to still use FBC 1.04 for anything any longer. Win XP is 2 decades old -- out of service -- for any serious work. Latest release of 1.07.3 (WIN64 only) fixes all the problems described. Emulators, VM's and the like are more often than not, introducing problems ...

In order to prevent "out of bounds" errors, on array access, there are:
LBound(a) and, UBound(a)
where a, is the array identifier ... (without bounds specifiers!)

Why don't you use the FB data-type that is equivalent to C/C++ int -type: Long (32-bit, fixed size). (or the unsigned variant of it: ULong ) WARNING: using "Integer" can inroduce unexpected errors/bugs in data-structures (mainly). (generally speaking: an old and also bad practice, from the...

Nope, no code needed, just read what 'requirements' has to say, in FBC-docs (DOS).

As you certainly know: "talk is cheap, money buys the whisky". ;-)
Can you provide code that proves your claim?
