I agree with agamemnus. Extend sounds like you are modifying the original in some way, inherit makes it clear that there is a new class that takes on the properties of the old one.

The benchmarks would be no different if FreeBASIC was the original and the others were adapted from it, given that it is basically the same language as C. The benchmark is left without some of the optimizations you did because it is testing if the compiler can do it itself (the way optimizations sho...

TJF: Those FreeBASIC benchmarks were left that way for a reason: they are comparing like for like. The C, Pascal and FreeBASIC versions of a test should all be as close to each other as possible so that you are not measuring the skill of the programmer, only the optimization of the compiler!

TJF: That "benchmark" is *very* simple and is not going to offer you a very good idea of their relative speeds. A much better, comprehensive set of benchmarks is here. It's old, from 2008, though. As you can see variants of C/++ are a fair bit faster than FreeBASIC.

Sebastian: I've found the same thing, but it's a bit of an illusion. Previously visited links are displayed in black (like normal text), but new links are blue. As a poster, of course we've visited our own links. But yeah, although it's less of a problem, I'd still like it to be fixed.

What's more, a C++ emitter was never the intention. It would be of no use to write one.

The SMF forum software has a admin setting to set the delay time between posts to prevent flooding . Yes, most forum software has such a facility . ------- On a serious note, I think the front page should be completely redesigned. I'm not asking for any "flash" as people say, but it is ve...

I think it would be good to, as vdecampo and stylin said, modernize the website, maybe through the wiki. Leading on from duke4e, I'd like to see a more advanced forum software (this thing is years old), and a bit more liberal management, such as PMs, reintroduction of the off topic, avatars. I sugge...

I don't know what sport is played, but I've heard a lot about the adverts (commercials, to you).

If I wanted to generate C code to run my FreeBASIC application on OS X, would I need to run the compiler on a currently supported platform? Hypothetically, if a mac port was created, the original port of FBC would be cross compiled (producing the mac binary under windows with the windows binary). C...

Well, front end would usually mean that it gives GCC something that the backend (code generator and optimizer) can handle, which would be some form of IR. This was the original intention, as far as I know. However GIMPLE (and/or the general structure of GCC) was deemed to messy/difficult to work wit...

Are you guys still trying to draw circles, after 600+ replies?

Uhh, thats combining two similar meaning phrases, "no limits" and "endless possibilities" to create one that means something completely different xD.

Interesting. I was reading through your implementation of DataObj, and I didn't see a way to use other data types (e.g. pointers to a struct). Is it possible?

It could also be that the program is running (check Task Manager -> Processes).
