Post by: spudgunjake on 2011-Feb-11

having trouble with types, can any one help. been right thick. Or is it better to use INLINE function.

I need a pointer to a char in my type,

TYPE My_Test

   *mTargetBuf
   mWidth
   mHeight

ENDTYPE

You would need to use INLINE if you want pointers

Pointers aren't very "BASIC" are they? :-)

No. Each time you think of pointers and BASIC, a cute puppy dies.

But then again, PEEKs and POKEs are kind of pointers, right?

No more than FOR, IF and WHILE :-)

what do you need the pointer for? They are hard to handle, when you have to be sure the memory is properly allocated and deleted afterwards.

I thought I would need to use INLINE, I want to convert some old code from BLITZMax to GLBasic.

thanks for the nod.

I think you can convert the pointer to a dynamic array of some single or complex type. You can use Redim later, for allocate this field to the desired size.
