Wiki improvements

@Jeff,

I started a topic here: Nested Types and Unions for the new feature and will add information soon.

Otherwise, OK now for #968 Using TYPE() or BASE() on derived instance, implicit copy/construct only copies data members of topmost base.

Not important but an improvement

ff as integer = FreeFile() should be long/ulong FaqPgbloadworkaround or var ff = FreeFile()

byval pal as any ptr = 0 should be ulong ptr KeyPgBsave and KeyPgBload

KeyPgPalette type of parameters are missing complete (maybe index=integer/ulong ,r,g,b = ubyt/ulong)
and in the examples:
Dim As Integer r, g, b
looks on 64-bit a little bit strange to me.

1)

ff as integer = FreeFile() should be long/ulong FaqPgbloadworkaround or var ff = FreeFile()

OK

2)

byval pal as any ptr = 0 should be ulong ptr KeyPgBsave and KeyPgBload

But the 'pal' parameter is declared 'as any ptr' for the two keywords:

Code: Select all

#print typeof(@bload())
#print typeof(@Bsave())

FUNCTION(AS CONST STRING, AS ANY PTR, AS ANY PTR) AS LONG
FUNCTION(AS CONST STRING, AS CONST ANY PTR, AS CONST ULONG, AS CONST ANY PTR) AS LONG

3)

KeyPgPalette type of parameters are missing complete (maybe index=integer/ulong ,r,g,b = ubyt/ulong)
and in the examples:
Dim As Integer r, g, b
looks on 64-bit a little bit strange to me.

I don't know for the keyword syntaxes because 'Palette()' is not a simple procedure. but OK for the color components in the second example (=> 'ulong' because 'ubyte' does not work) , and the array in the third example (=> 'ulong').

Could you please create a new build of fbc64 containing the latest changes regarding Named Types?

Done with all the last updates.

Edit: missing updates...

Indeed, I have just redone the tests with this latest version and now it seems to work well (it must have been missing before the change this morning very early).
Thanks.

(it must have been missing before the change this morning very early).

I built the first one yesterday and this morning I checked but the commit page is not automatically updated when I open the browser.....
I'll do it like for the manual and upload fbc.exe each time a new version is available.

This is very good news (especially for me!).

[SARG]

@fxm and others interested,

Now I'll use fbc64_lastest.zip so the link remains always the same.

https://users.freebasic-portal.de/sarg/ ... astest.zip

Btw exe size is smaller as I have removed -edebug when compiling some files.

[fxm]

Great !

@SARG,

Could you build a new version (.chm) of the documentation, so that I can verify the correct formatting of the new documentation page:
Type (UDT/Alias/Temporary) and Union of the Programmer's Guide.

Thanks in advance.

[SARG]

Done.

You can post on discord when there is an update in case I forget to check.

[fxm]

Thanks.
(I don't like 'discord'!)
Maybe a private message on the forum ?

[SARG]

On discord you can exchange in a private way. I send you an invit.
Discord could be time consuming however fine for fast exchanging.
But via PM on the forum pas de problème
