The sound file can be downloaded from:

My test code:

InitSound()
a=LoadSound(0,"d:\bmv10\sounds\howdy.wav")
Debug a
If a
FreeSound(0)
EndIf

6.01 returns 0. 6.10 reports a division by zero error on LoadSound.

I think this is similar to the problem reported for LoadImage. Yesterday, one of my users reported crashing (program suddenly shuts down) where it had not happened before. The exe is compiled with 6.10x64 LTX. The crash happened at LoadSound(1, filename$) . In PB 6.01 and before, LoadSound returns a...

That was it! Thank you.

Had to go through the source code and catch this in several places but it compiles and runs properly after.

The code below returns a Syntax error on line 15 A$=PeekS(@Proc32\szExeFile) . It does this with the ASM and C compilers, both 64 and 32-bit. No error with PB6.10. Checked multiple times. ;{ ISPROCESSES ;Returns the number of instances the current program or filename is in the process list Procedure...

EXE compressors also sometimes have the opposite effect on anti-virus software: they become suspect. :wink: Yes! When I tried UPX, the compressed exe's were declared the exe malicious, not just suspicious, by three different AV systems. I discovered exe's embedded in BriefLZ compressed files appear...

I am currently breaking these big include library files down into many small pbi files, only included when needed "C Backend" checks for unused functions and never adds them to the compiled file. So that's it! I noticed the C-compiled programs were quite a bit smaller. However, the Corete...

I will try add an option to link the UCRT dynamically so if you program is targeting Windows 10 or above it would be smaller. It won't remove the MSVCRT dependency but it would be a start. Terrific! Thank you very much! When I started programming in Basic, the desktop HP 9845 (in 1978) had about 8k...

[Win 10, PB 6.10. CPU Intel 7700k @ 4.3Ghz, 8 cores] Not confirmed. Debugger on Run from the IDE, not compiled Every run returned a slightly different average time.

I have recompiled all 10 of my school library system's exe modules with the beta release. Windows 10, 64-bit, asm compiler. 100,000 to 150,000 lines of source code in each module. It is a complex database system using SQLite, barcodes, and images. So far, everything seems to work okay. There may be ...

I was not sure if it was classified as a bug. I am fully aware the generated error and documentation is correct. But it is a difference in behaviour and it may catch other code. I picked this up when transferring data in a file from one library system to a different one.

I have spotted a difference between 6.01 and 6.04 / 6.10 with the Chr() function. Using 6.10 beta 1 and 6.04 LTS, ASM, a negative value passed to Chr() generates an error. With 6.01 LTS no error. ;Error if run in 6.04 or 6.10, but no error in 6.01 a = -30 a$ = Chr(a) ;No error with 6.04 and 6.10 a =...

I would like to request UncompressPackFile() sets a file's date and time when uncompressed, or to have a flag to do that. I realize this can be done with PackEntryDate() and SetFileDate() after the file is uncompressed but it would be handy to have this done as part of the uncompress process. This h...

I did not have this problem when installing 6.10, but ran into this same false positive for PureBasic_Compilation0.exe . Reported by Windows Defender. It first appears in my history list on Dec 29. The quarantined path was C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Temp\PureBasic_Compilation0.exe . I was using PB 6....

I do this old-school by brute force with a set of procedures. I use lists when a key is not required, and maps when keys are useful. Lists can be sorted as well. ;This procedure adds an integer value to a list, optionally at a specified position Procedure ListAddn(List tempb.i(), value.i , position=...
