This is what is said here http://gambasdoc.org/help/howto/extern?v3 "More On Pointers" READ #mypointer, var1_4byte mypointer += 4 READ #mypointer, var2_4byte
i tried Print "\nRead the pointer" Print "Integer read:"; Integer@(pPointer) pPointer += 4 Print "Float read:"; Float@(pPointer) But this raises an error, "Type mismatch, wanted number get pointer instead" Is this a bug? As i see there is no intrinsic function of Gambas3 for moving in memory forward or backward from a starting memory address. Is it useful to be one? what do you say? As i see there is only a way to move inside a memory stream with SEEK.
