6/2(1+2) = 9
or
6/2(1+2) = 1
?
The answer depends on your calculator...

I am new in the programming for MacOS. ... Now I made program and use dynamic lib. Program works when I run it from IDE but program is crashed(segmentation fault) when I run created stand alone application(.app) I have put .dylib together with binary file. You mention that you are new on MacOS prog...

This works nice.
Thank you Shardik.

That's really old Windows code, glad it still works. Now I'm on a Mac and could have used such code for macOS in the past. :cry: Franco and fsw's code updated for 2022: Franco was the alias I used to use in the old forum. Before this forum there was another one but something happened to it. Fred was...

@mk-soft:
This is the output on my M1 Mac:

100
100
0
0
0
100
0

but it should be:

100
100
0
0
0
100
12345

Further testing with your first code shows that it works perfectly as long as real constants or literal strings are used.

Something is goofy... This works as well even though it shouldn't: Define key.s = "___data" Define key1.s = key ; "___data" Associated::Set( WindowID(0), "___data", 12345) Debug Associated::Get( WindowID(0), "___data") Debug Associated::Get( WindowID(0), key) ...

Not sure why, but I found this: https://nshipster.com/associated-objects/ And it says that the keys should be constants: It is often recommended that they key be a static char—or better yet, the pointer to one. Basically, an arbitrary value that is guaranteed to be constant, unique, and scoped for u...

What you see is not the WebGadget moving, but the webpage is "bouncing". I know it's totally unnecessary but this is the way macOS (and iOS, iPadOS, etc.) shows fancy UI stuff. Try this code with a colored window background and you will see that the gadget doesn't move: If OpenWindow(0, 0,...

In regards to the font: The operating system tries to find the font based on the font name. As far as I know, if the font is not available, the default font is used. You could use something like: CompilerSelect #PB_Compiler_OS CompilerCase #PB_OS_Windows ; some Windows specific font code CompilerCas...

With every update of macOS there is also a new version of Xcode.
If you update Xcode you have to update the command line developer tools at first start of the new version of Xcode.

It's pretty neat that they chose to name PureBasic as first non-Microsoft Basic programming language. Cudos to Fred & team. Just updated the Basic language dialects Wikipedia webpage you mentioned to incorporate all the different platforms PureBasic compiles for, including the C compiler output....

My take... the B-GAP approach: (depends on the complexity of the application...) Basic: 1. Use always compiler option thread-safe 2. Do never change GUI objects from thread (crash) 3. Exiting Threads before end program 4. Use not KillThread for exiting thread (Only if thread hangs) Good: 5. Let only...

Thought I share a funny Advice I stumbled upon in a Go document:

If you must read the rest of this document to understand the behavior of your program, you are being too clever.

Don't be clever.

So true...

The problem with Zig is that it doesn't work on Windows 7 (and older) without a hack! If Windows 7 is still your main operating system I can fully understand why you are reluctant to implement Zig as well. BTW: Your signature says: Et cetera is my worst enemy Is by any chance Et Cetera related to P...

What about Zig?
The Zig compiler has a C compiler built-in.
Also, Zig doesn't need make, cmake or something else, as the build file is written in Zig.
