INLINE calls

Where do I put my...

#include // Header File For Standard Input / Output

If you want to include some file, be warned, that you must provide it. I don't provide any std files with GLBasic SDK.
The easiest way is to put all inline stuff in a seperate file. That way you are sure, that at the top of this file you're not in the main function anymore.

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

INLINE
} // close current namespace
include

namespace __GLBASIC__ { // restore namespace
ENDINLINEFor calling a function I suggest this:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

FUNCTION LoadFile: file$
INLINE
bool good=true;
FILE* pF = fopen(file_Str . c_str(), "rb");
fputs(pF, ....

return good;
ENDINLINE

Aha, so thats how its done!

Thanks Gernot, Im learning C as need be for GLBasic... do I need the standard .h file that is supplied with GCC or will anyone do? If so, does it need to specific to the compiler version?

Many thanks,

[Kitty Hello]

I think any std file will do. Getting a copy from a GCC compiler is a good choice, though.

[bigsofty]

I cant get this to work, no matter what headers I try, I've tried djgpp,mingw (gcc), PelleC, etc... stdio.h but they all throw up errors on compilation... each header has different errors.

I placed them in ..."\Program Files\GLBasic\Compiler\platform\Include"...

[bigsofty]

Removed some bits and edited the headers... down to a few errors... Ill continue to try and fix them tomorrow...

[Kitty Hello]

Best is to copy/paste the function declarations you need only.

My biggest problem is that GLBasic seems to do an automatic type conversion mystring_Str and DGInt for example, which makes them incompatible with these system calls?

[Kitty Hello]

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

mystring_Str.c_str()gives a const char*

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

mystring_Str.GetStr(minimum_length);
...
mystring_Str.CalcLen();gives a char* (not very wise, though)

DGInt is simply a double, so you can cast to e.g. int

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

DGInt mynumber=1.23;
int n = (int) mynumber;

P.S. I've been getting this error quite a bit over the last couple of days, when posting Gernot...

Small question... where to you store your textures Gernot(array of GLuint), I would like to load my own textures and use the OpenGL texture ID from within GLBasic?

[Kitty Hello]

try get_sprite_texture() command. See an example here:
http://www.glbasic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=4031#p4031

[bigsofty]

Ah, thank you, I forgotten about that example!

EDIT: Ah, its actually  new one... doh! ...thanks again bud

Not happy with my current headers... they work but I'm not happy with there compatibility (lots of edits t get working)... does anyone have a zip file handy with all the headers for C99? What worries me is that the headers may not be cross platform compatible, since some headers I've looked at seem to have different Defines for different O.S. and my will be on at least 3 platforms...

Also...

Im using standard OpenGL types... GLuint, GLbyte, etc... via typedefs inline, is this OK, I noticed you dont use them Gernot (maybe because you know them off by heart )?

[bigsofty]

OK, time to stop and take stock...

First why go to the bother, I could easily just compile a DLL BUT as said I wanted my program to work across various platforms... a DLL does not work in linux for example, so, inline, with the game... seemed the best idea...

The headers I need, are..., and

Ive ran into a few problems (or potential problems)...

1) Standard C99 headers seem to be quite incompatible... I tried many.

2) Some of these headers are for win32 only, so compilation on one platform does not guarantee it will run on another.

Interfacing with GLBasic variables via type casting was working fine.

Gernot, any advice how to proceed?
