Are you using the latest Inno based Windows install curl module?

Out of memory is a catch all error in extension modules as the developers didn't take the time to describe the actual error properly.  I'm slowly rewriting the distributed extension modules in C BASIC for readability, updating libraries and cleanup. Most all of the extension modules I've done are in C BASIC.

I'm glad Script BASIC found a home in your toolbox of languages.

Keep us in the loop as your projects unfold.

How are things going in general with Script BASIC? Are you having fun yet?  :)

Hopefully others will give Script BASIC a try and share their experience. You can lead a horse to water ...

And yet SB is the only one of the lot that does what I want it to do in both a straightforward AND a timely manner.

There has been few if any projects I have done that required using a compiler rather than an interpreter. If I have a CPU intensive function, I just write a C extension module and use it seamlessly with SB.

I released Script BASIC for Windows 32 bit  on Valentines day. No one other than you showed any love. I think I'll focus my efforts on IoT and Linux instead. The problem when there are over 100 variations of BASIC.

I'm going to wait until I can see what the interest level for Script BASIC on Windows is. With Microsoft putting all their efforts into the cloud, Windows may not be the best use of my time.

I haven't had a chance to do much with the 32-bit install yet (real life intrudes) but it is both blisteringly fast, and a very easy install. I have seen no problems at all with what little I have done.

Good to hear and at least it's something.

Given that I am running windows 7 Pro 64-bit on a moderately scaled workstation:

I think that I would only bother with a 64-bit version if it were available for the other operating systems, and if there were some genuine advantage to a 64-bit version - such as speed, extended precision maths, storage etc. Game writers might have more to say about that, though. I'm not sure what advantages might be available with a 64-bit install.

Going forward, I can see backward compatability with 32-bit processors going the way 16-bit support in Windows has been dropped (and woe betide anyone who actually has 8-bit software for a PC  ??? ) - and at that time, I guess a 64-bit version will be necessary.

I already have a 64 bit version of Script BASIC built. I just don't have it in an Inno install file format.

While I would like to install a 64-bit version, right now, the 32-bit version of SB is perfectly sufficient. (mind you, all of my development is using 32-bit software - VB6, mainly).

If it wasn't for Dave Zimmer's work with COM / VB6 with Script BASIC, I probably wouldn't have created the Windows 32 bit Inno install version and kept my focus on Linux.

Quote
My bottom line: I believe that a 64-bit SB install will be necessary at some point, so now is probably a good time to get started - before it becomes the only version acceptable under Windows 11, 12 or whatever. No rush.

See above.

I was thinking of putting together a Windows 64 bit Script BASIC Inno install but I haven't received any feedback on the 32 bit version I have already posted. Would you put forth the effort if you were me?

What's New / Re: Script BASIC Windows 32 bit - Thread Start Options
« on: February 20, 2017, 05:06:33 PM »
You can start a SB thread in two ways. The first method gives you the option to run a script from a string and just load the script without running it.

sbt_2ways.sb
Code: Script BASIC
  1. IMPORT sbt.sbi
  2.  
  3. ' Thread 1
  4. sb1 = SB_New()
  5. SB_Configure sb1, "C:/Windows/SCRIBA.INI"
  6. SB_Load sb1, "hellothread.sb"
  7. SB_Run sb1, ""
  8.  
  9. ' Thread 2
  10. sb2 = SB_ThreadStart("hellothread.sb",undef,"C:/Windows/SCRIBA.INI")
  11.  
  12. SB_Destroy(sb2)
  13. SB_Destroy(sb1)
  14.  

hellothread.sb
Code: Script BASIC
  1. PRINT "Hello world from a thread\n"
  2.  


C:\ScriptBASIC\examples>scriba sbt_2ways.sb
Hello world from a thread
Hello world from a thread

What's New / Script BASIC Windows 32 bit - Download Available
« on: February 14, 2017, 02:57:04 PM »
I have finally assembled an Inno install for Script BASIC for Windows 32 bit with extension modules and their dependencies included. This is my first public release in this format and would appreciate any feedback you're willing to offer to make Script BASIC even better for everyone.

If you plan on using the MySQL extension module or use the SBHTTPD proxy web server, I highly recommend installing the 32 bit version of the XAMPP package (and any of the other free packages they offer) for your local  database and Apache web server environment.

Thanks Peter!

Greetings, I made an AUR package for the Arch linux users,

I'm assuming this is a 64 bit Arch Linux distribution?

I will be posting soon a Script BASIC for Windows 32 bit Inno setup file for testing and feedback.

Have you looked at the HASH extension module as a basis for your ISAM index engine?

Quote
The module uses the same hash algorithm as the ScriptBasic symbol table handling routine. This is routine comes from the page 436 of the dragon book.

Sometimes you need to reassure yourself that you didn't make a bad decision. (BerkleyBD & PostgreSQL ext. modules)

Everything Oracle touches turns to crap. About the only thing I still use Oracle related is VirtualBox.
