And do not plan cross-platform? well i leave that in your task...so start coding Cross-platform GUI is a tremendous task. Every OS has its unique interface and to support them all would require a kind of component library. Taking a look at Lazarus' LCL will give you some idea. It is HUGE, also beca...

You'd get 10 if you'd assign the right types: TYPE athing x AS INTEGER END TYPE TYPE collection thing AS athing END TYPE DIM somethings(10) as athing DIM manythings(10) as collection somethings(0).x = 10 manythings(0).thing = somethings(0) PRINT manythings(0).thing.x Is there a technical reason for ...

The vast majority is using network. So network order should be default :=)

Indeed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness#Current_architectures : The Intel x86 and also AMD64 / x86-64 series of processors use the little-endian format, and for this reason, it is also known in the industry as the "Intel convention". Yes, and very inefficiently, the network (internet) de...

As one may have noticed, there have been no updates here for a while. The reason is that I started development of a new interpreter/language for the project, which allows for fully integrated inspection, debugging and also language features such as class support and null objects (which I greatly mis...

Yes, I forgot to include that QB's CInt in the first place converts numeric expressions to integer.

Coming from QuickBASIC I find CInt() much more misleading for string to number conversion as in QB its only function was to round numeric expressions. In this respect Val() is more consistent in that it is traditionally associated with string to number conversion.

Why not use ValInt or in this case ValUInt directly?

Thank you very much coderJeff for your commitment and efforts to keep the FB project going. I'm sure it's very much appreciated by many.

In the past I used constructors a lot to do initial population of (object) arrays. In RealBASIC it was even mandatory or the object arrays' elements would not reference. Here is a basic example: type T x as integer end type type TList list(any) as T declare constructor(byval x as integer) end type c...

Yes, marpon's suggestion will be a great speed improvement too, but it requires administering the string position and size.

It might help if you use a union instead of plain number to string conversion and also limit the string operations by using a line ending constant: const EndOfLine = chr(13)+chr(10) type TDouble union char as string * 8 value as double end union end type ' ... sub clip_string_uni_matrix (Z() As TDou...

Could you make the title more fitting?

On most Unix-like systems there is the convention that filenames are interpreted as UTF-8, even though file system drivers just handle the byte sequence; it doesn't matter to them what the bytes mean. The only two special bytes are the slash and the null-character. There are applications that interp...
