BaCon 3.0.3 released

[Pjot]

All,

The latest BaCon version 3.0.3 is ready for consumption and can be obtained from the BaCon website.

Like the previous 3.0.2 version, this is a maintenance release which focuses on fixing issues caused by the major code overhaul in the 3.0 version.

Highlights:

• General performance improvements
• Lots of code cleaning
• Usual bug fixes

See the full list of changes for more details (please clean your browser cache to obtain the latest).

BaCon releases are made available after testing on several platforms, including Tru64Unix, MacOSX and several flavors of Linux.

As usual thanks to the BaCon community for notifying issues, reporting bugs and suggesting improvements.

Best regards
Peter

Hi Peter,

I just tested the latest BaCon with embedding Script BASIC. I have a project on the All BASIC forum going to show how to use SB embedded by using itself. The SBT extension module (enhanced with C BASIC) shows both the extension and embedded APIs and my plan is a Script BASIC API tutorial in code.

sb.c

' BaCon Command Line Interpreter

PRAGMA OPTIONS -I/home/jrs/sb/source
PRAGMA LDFLAGS scriba pthread
PRAGMA INCLUDE scriba.h getopt.h
PROTO scriba_destroy

DECLARE pProgram TYPE pSbProgram

cmdln$ = ARGUMENT$
SPLIT cmdln$ BY " " TO opts$ SIZE cnt

pProgram = scriba_new(malloc,free)
ok = scriba_LoadConfiguration(pProgram,"/home/jrs/sb/sb22/basic.conf")
ok = scriba_SetFileName(pProgram, opts$[1])
ok = scriba_LoadSourceProgram(pProgram)
ok = scriba_Run(pProgram,opts$[2])
scriba_destroy(pProgram)


test.sb

cmd = COMMAND()

PRINT "ARG = ",cmd,"\n"

FOR x = 1 TO 5
PRINT x,"\n"
NEXT


Output

I've just installed the newest version on my fresh OS. It works with no problems. The only thing is that I've used the .deb file and the installator said all dependencies were satisfied, what was useless, because I didn't have a C compiler or Gtksourceview library installed at that moment. But that's a minor issue. Once again thanx for a new BaCon version and the new HUG 1.0!
