Re: Server/Client limitation

I don't think there is a hard limit for active network connections. At least not in PureBasic, the operating system may have a limit, i am not sure. If the active conncections does not go into the thousends, i would not worry.

Re: PackExeData()

I guess this would be not a normal procedure but a compiler directive and run at compile time. I did something similar and wrote an archive to the end of the .exe and the length of the archive as the last few bytes in the .exe. On runtime the program could read the .exe length, the archive length fr...

Re: Thoughts on the situation of PB

For me the biggest drawback is the lack of TLS support in the network library (client and server side) This is a must for people who want to code own servers and protocols. For you perhaps something different. :) I agree. The way i go around that right now is to run my PureBasic server programs wit...

Re: Packer library enhancement

I would assume the file is completely written to disk after closepack(). Thats usually how OS handles disk writes, buffers are written to disk after the handle for the file is closed to prevent data loss on unexpected power loss, etc. However it's up to the OS configuration if it still buffers after...

Re: PB.Ex WebGadget (Windows) (WebKit)

I have a request: Please add option to change the path of the WebKit installation.
Currently it needs to be in the same directory as the application executable. It would be nice if we can specify a path, so applications can share one installation easily.

Re: callback procedure in Exe

You can use Prototype to define a procedure with a pointer to it, you can change at any time.
You get the pointer to a procedure with an @ like this *Pointer = @ProcedureName()

Re: Free PureBasic

You can merge several lines with ":". This allows you to reduce the number of lines. It's true, but he probably also wants to teach them good readable syntax. Putting as many as possible commands in one line is not a good lesson to learn. If an old version would be made free, i think it w...

Re: How time flies ...

Couldn't agree more. It was also a nice way for me to learn ASM, as you are in a familiar and easy BASIC environment and can experiment with small parts in ASM surrounded by BASIC code. Much better way to learn it than using an assembler directly. PureBasic also introduced me to pointers. Currently ...

But i still enjoy using it and there are a number of PB programs i made that still run in professional production environments and i still maintain them. I remember, at some point, there was some talk about using LLVM as backend for the compiler....
