Re: FreeBASIC for Apple OS

Re: Header files license ?

(I'm no lawyer either, but have followed such cases in the news for decades) Even without the Oracle to Google lawsuit, headers rarely generate code, and GPL is a linking license (iow about linking generated code to other generated code). Users using the headers will also link code, but GPL allows t...

Re: Working with bits

Thanks srvaldez, It worked but it was slower, probably because the ASM interrupts the GCC optimizations. Also: the old bit instructions often can't be parallelized/interleaved as much, and the call alone has overhead too. Operations like AND are the cheapest (single cycle, low latency and supported...

Re: QB64 faster than FB ?

Munair, you can indeed divide by a constant using magic numbers but not if dividing by a variable Yes, and that is useful if you don't do anything else. If it is just about doing the most div/mod in a tight loop, consider SIMD. SARG, I find it hard to believe that the chip makers haven't optimized ...

Re: under linux how create buttons and others widgets?

Note that Lazarus itself is based on either QT or GTK under Linux. (usually distros ship GTK, but most application developers use QT due to better stability)

Re: Chain/Exe/Run Problem

You system is simply underspeced. 4GB for Windows 10 is not workable. That might not even provide a gigabyte free for applications, the rest is eaten up by the system
