Thank for your responses guys, sorry for the long delay in responding! UEZ, your solution worked. angros47, I downloaded the oldest version of jpeg62.dll I could find, then I re-read your post and realized that's not what you said. This sounds like a stupid question, but where do I find older versio...

I'm trying to run the test program for displaying JPEGs; I've modified it slightly (I hardcoded the file name rather than getting it from the commandline and, after getting an error added some prints and sleeps and error checking) I'm getting error 12, "segmentation violation signal," whic...

I had a program acting oddly and this is the simplest code I was able to create that replicates the problem (compiling with -lang qb): Option ByVal declare sub more(s as string) more("Less") more("More") end sub more(s as string) s = s+" is " + s print s end sub I would...

I am such a dork; I can't believe I started a thread over this. I would consider naming global variables something other than a, b, c, etc. That was just a simplified example; the actual function started out like this: sub reconcileJump(ifPtr as long) 'print "------Reconciling-------"; ifP...

I have a sub that reads from a global array of a user-defined data type. I'm compiling with -exx and getting an array out-of-bounds error. It's hard to post the code causing the problem as it's almost 8000 lines of code; I haven't been able to replicate the problem with something smaller. The functi...

Ah, thank you so much MichealW and fxm! I knew I had to be making some silly mistake :)

Yes, "catch" was the wrong term; nevertheless my problem remains: the error is indeed thrown and caught, it is passed to my error handler, but the error code is incorrect.

I'm compiling with -exx (which should catch array overflows) and I've tried both -lang fb and lang -qb and can't seem to get an error code with an array overflow. Here's a short example that forces an array overflow: on error goto bad dim a(10) as integer dim x as integer x = 11 a(x) = 4 end bad: pr...

(Note: I'm using the QB dialect, hence the double underscore prior to "asm." The problem doesn't go away when I use FB's primary dialect) In the following code the first jump works fine but the 2nd jump says "undefined reference to 'forward'. " back: __asm jmp back __asm jmp forw...

Thank you so much for your help and your fast replies, DJ and dkl! :)

Oh! That makes sense; thank you dkl.

Is there a command like:
Is there something in the tutorial where i can read up on namespaces? (Briefly looking around, I didn't find anything).

I've been having trouble using the fbgfx header file; I've made a few tweaks to try to figure out what the issue is and I can't quite pin it down. Here's a small program I wrote to demonstrate the problem: #include "fbgfx.bi" dim x as integer x = GFX_NULL print x'GFX_NULL while inkey$ = &q...

I downloaded the FB IDE and when I run it a popup says "The FBIDEFIX.DLL is linked to missing export USER32.DLL:IsHungAppWindow." It seems to be saying that it can't find user32.dll, or that it can find it but cannot find that particular function within the dll. I'm running this on Windows...

Wow, it's nice to finally see another platformer in FreeBASIC. You can add a velocity vector to the player so he will keep moving to the left or right when the direction key is released. The first level did not have an exit. Is this a bug? Your game looks like it is in 8 bit. I have written some ve...

D'oh! Sorry guys, I didn't see the correct place to post bugs until after I posted this; I felt kinda stupid :P

Thank you, Counting_pine, for correctly reporting it for me.
