Hi,

I quickly made a first V8 preview beta (which can compile for iPAD!!!)
http://www.glbasic.com/beta/glbasic_sdk.exe

The manual is not up to date. See http://www.glbasic.com/xmlhelp.php instead.

Now to start testing it mercilessly...

Some problems :


  • Returning a value from a function in type generates a compiler error - Fixed with 8.006
  • Cant pass a type to a function in a type - Had my TYPE's mixed up :)
  • Compiling to Linux generates the following warning : /cygdrive/S/Compiler/platform/Linux/Lib/libGLBasicLinux.a(gf_sockets.o)(.text+0x13f1): In function `netGetLocalIPs(int*, char const*)':
    : warning: Using 'getaddrinfo' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking
    - Fixed
  • Compiling to iPhone generates compiler errors when using functions in types
  • Cant compile for XBox - compiling completely fails - Fixed
  • Cant use a type in one file, when it is defined in another
  • UNTIL expression is wrong - Fixed

Fantastic. Nice. Beauty. And, as a practical test, I was able to compile my 3D game to the larger resolution.  :booze: Woo hoo ... it's iPad time!!!!

What about support fo the new iPhone4? - http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/iphone-4-announced/

The screen is doubled now (960x640), as well as some other changes to the hardware  :blink: Where will this all end? Apple updating their stuff every three minutes. Devs don't have a chance to support any version properly before it's outdated. Apple will fragment their own market.
I came. I saw. I played.

Slight problem with the Linux version : symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libX11.so.6: undefined symbol: XAllocClassHint.  I do have Ubuntu 10's X11 dev installed...

AT&T might muck things up for Apple, they're eliminating unlimited internet altogether and having two packages, 200mb monthly limit for $15 and 2gb monthly limit for $25.  However, like most phone companies, exceeding these limits leads to additional fees.

Hopefully we might see Apple jump that ship and possibly open doors to other services.

I think it's not a problem at all. Just a change in the platform.ini file.

Yes. I totally agree that the double resolution is a true pain. WTF? I mean, 320x480 is really enough for an iPhone sized device. Win Mobile usually is 320x240. Was OK, too.
I think I won't support that resolution myself and stick with 320x480 for iPhone.

any other new features beside IPad support?
I see its still not possible to use the same function name in different types. Will this be changed?

There is the NOT, ENCRYPT$, DECRYPT$, REPEAT and UNTIL commands.

It would be nice.

Has PLATFORMINFO$ been updated so that "" will return iPod/iPhone or iPad ?
