rtl64 example issues

[jcfuller]

Charles,
  Issues I found compiling with use rtl64.
To save you some time I am testing all the example code. This is the first folder: examples\Basics
I am testing the code files in alphabetical order.
I will progress folder to folder and post on a folder basis unless you have another preferred method.

Hi James,

at the moment I can only report my tests for 32-bit.

Arrays.o2bas: I get as a result: 67: C
ByteTests.o2bas: sometimes there is a problem with the print statement. But: print a(0) "  " str a(1)  should work
Cast.o2bas: this seems to be higher mathematics. If I use a=f or a= int f, the value for f will be 4 but g is false. So I think a=(int)f retrieves the address of f?
CodeWindow.o2bas: If I recall this correctly, ### is ignored since some time. I am not sure about #view? #show is used to display translated code.
Equates.o2bas: this is also a problem with print.
this:  print a & cm b cm c cm d cm e cm f
or:    print a + cm b cm c cm d cm e cm f
and:   print %a cm %b cm %c cm %d cm %e cm f
did work for me.
Gosub.o2bas: I am not sure, but I believe Charles has removed defining functions/subs inside functions/subs?
Loops.o2bas: I found that: do {b+=1} while b<a is not supported any more for some time.

These are no solutions. I only wanted to show the results from a different (32-bit) perspective.

Many thanks, James and Roland, keep it going

I have reworked the loop formats, and I'm working on Byte/String conversions which were not specifically 64 bit issues.

Nested functions are gone.

### ... ### is used for extracting blocks of Assembly code. It is not as useful as #show which displays the translated code per line, non-destructively.

These are some of my results. Perhaps they are of interest too.

sapiDemo4.o2bas: in JIT mode #recordof person shows internal record of person, which is interesting, but unfortunately I do not understand the internals. After pressing the Enter key, the speech will start. Compiling to 32-bit exe: #recordof is ignored, speech starts at once.

NonBlockingCons.o2bas: I think Charles has changed a bit the calling for pointers? If I use:
'  ! SUB RtlZeroMemory LIB "kernel32.dll" (DWORD ptr, DWORD size)
  ! SUB RtlZeroMemory LIB "kernel32.dll" (sys Destination, DWORD Length)
or simply:
  ! RtlZeroMemory LIB "kernel32.dll" (sys Destination, DWORD Length)
then the app will work. ESC must be used to close the GUI win and also to close the Console win.
The 32-bit app is blocked by my (Fullversion) AV-Scanner. Impudence! I have sent away my exe for complete investigation.
 
Console.o2bas: This does only work in 32-bit mode. I assumed, that:
extern lib "msvcrt.dll"
would help for compiling to 64-bit, but there must be still missing something else.

LineSplitter2.o2bas: I assume there is something missing in function printLines? But I am not very familiar with the bstring type. Is this the same as string s[] ?

TestStringUtil.o2bas: This demo runs in JIT mode, but running the  exe file created with: uses RTL32 crashes.

TimeAnalysis.o2bas: I added at the beginning  the two lines:
$ filename "Test.exe"
uses RTL64
and the exe file seems to work. At least there are two results.

@James: Do you know a working, not too extended SQLite3 example? I would like to learn a little bit about this library.

Roland,
  The Oxygenbasic sample is about all you need to get started, but you do need to learn the sql language to make better use of the sqlite3 library:

Thanks, James.

I know the DataProcessing files will all have to be reviewed. I may replace them entirely.
