Title: O2 Interpreter Extension
Post by: JRS on July 22, 2018, 01:51:04 PM

Charles mentioned due to his limited time maturing O2 he is unable to offer more than occasional mentoring for DLLC. I feel that DLLC (although originally created for Script BASIC) can be easily be made a generic extension that multiple interpreters can use. I have asked Eros (thinBasic author) if he would like to join forces to update and extend DLLC .I'm going to setup a BitBucket repository for DLLC and have a SB and generic DLL version of the extension module as a primary resource. The O2 forum will be used for announcements / forum member feedback.

P.S.  The DLLC Development thread has been moved to Admin Archive for reference. The thread was already pretty old when I revived it and it went down hill from there.

Hi John,

thinBasic can access DLLs directly using headers -  very similar to PowerBasic headers.

Yes but DLLC's dynamic FFI can create API calls on the fly and only functions you need.  bloatless

thinBasic can do that, and can also link headers to o2 JIT functions. It has UDTs and OOP too.

Most of DLLC is customised to the needs of ScriptBasic.
