Although I am on the forum every day and for a long time, I am not currently a candidate to be moderator on this forum: - I am more interested in the purely technical side than in the relational and human side. - My level of English does not allow me to perfectly judge the politeness or non-politene...

The result is the remainder of the integer division of x (-10) by 3: result = x - (x \ 3) * 3 The integer division divides x by 3, and the fractional share of the resulting quotient is truncated (Fix operator): (x \ 3) = Fix(x / 3) (x \ 3) = Fix(-3.333...) (x \ 3) = -3 Finally: result = -10 - (-3) *...

The reason is setting up OOP. GTK requires static procedures to call back to. Including such procedures in objects excludes direct access to dynamic members. That's a problem Yes, there is no access possibility (with the implicit 'This') to a non-static member from a static member procedure. But it...

Yes, and this additional attention (define a copy-constructor for such a Type, in order to get a valid instance copy) is not induced by the case where the static procedure is put inside the Type as static member.

When one refers to a static member procedure ( 'handler(...)' ) in an UDT, the syntax kinds that work for calling such a procedure do not work all for getting the procedure address. One can call a static member procedure on an UDT instance 'u' ( 'u.handler(...)' ) or on the UDT typename ( 'UDT.handl...

Furthermore, using static members in an object may require additional attention if you want a (new) copy of the object instance. Why ? Example : ' event handler object type TEvent extends object Handler as sub(byval p as any ptr) Owner as any ptr declare constructor() end type constructor TEvent() ...

By hacking the vptr (vtable pointer), one can access the address of a non-static virtual procedure member in the vtable. The only constraint is to know the order of the virtual procedures inside TForm1 declaration (first => offset = 0 in vtable, second => offset = +1 in vtable, ...): ' event handler...

A macro which addresses a constant produces the desired results, while a define would generate some kind of problem. No if you put surrounding parentheses to avoid unwanted precedence change of operators: #Define PI ( 4 * Atn(1.0) ) #Define d2r ( PI / 180.0 ) #Define r2d ( 180.0 / PI ) #Define RAD(...

@Krieger,
Can you explain where is the problem in your last code above?

'TheXC()' procedure only shows that the passed parameter for example 'y' is not modified by the procedure body expressions because it is never reassigned (no expression with 'y = .....' in that case).

@coderJeff, Thanks. And what about the warning on the second line in Sub body (referring to https://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=254260#p254260): Sub test (Byref s As Const Shape) Print Ubound(s.points) Print s.points(0).x '' warning 40(-1): CONST qualifier discarded End Sub (compiling wi...

Corrected error above: You forgot to count the memory occupied by the string descriptor of each array element (about 30 million of elements). Each string descriptor uses 3 integers ( 24 12 bytes on 32-bit). (I'm too "sticked" 64-bit) Reminder on string descriptor structure (each item is co...

FreeBASIC Compiler used: Version 1.06.0 (10-24-2018).

Obviously if we suppress 'Const' in all declarations, the code compiles.

You forgot to count the memory occupied by the string descriptor of each array element (about 30 million of elements).
Each string descriptor uses 3 integers (24 12 bytes on 32-bit).
