Re: [Gambas-user] EOF problem
Hi Ed, I figured it out. First of all, depending how the text file was emptied/created, the contents may not be truely empty. Gedit for example leaves the 0A (end-of-line) character in the 'empty' file. This is recognised by eof() as a character, so, end-of-file is not found. I am not sure if this can be considered a bug in Gambas, but it does mean an eof() is only good for preventing read errors, and is not reliable for testing if a file is empty. The following code gets around the problem. It's not ideal, but it does work. Maybe someone else can improve on it.

Re: [Gambas-user] static const?
The C language, in facts, does not even have CONSTs - it goes with
#define. So, it would be correct to forbid STATIC when declaring CONSTs.
Surely this is not correct. ANSI C uses const, and C++ also uses the
const keyword.
#define (a preprocessor directive) is a relic from old C, and const is
now recommended use instead.
Also, it would be correct to use static with const, the line below would
be correct use.
static const int daysPerMonth[13] = {0,31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31};
Having said that, The original question was not about C, I think Fabian
was simply asking about the scope of constants in classes (in Gambas)

#define (a preprocessor directive) is a relic from old C, and const is
now recommended use instead.
Surely, according to http://www.ericgiguere.com/articles/ansi-c-summary.html
The declaration:
enum colours { RED, BLUE, GREEN };
would declare colours as an enumeration tag representing the integer
constants RED, BLUE and GREEN. These enumeration constants are given
integer values starting at 0 and increasing by 1 with each identifier.
An enumeration constant may be used wherever an integer is expected.
The following is equivalent to the above enumerated type:
#define RED 0
#define BLUE 1
#define GREEN 2
Moreover, from http://tigcc.ticalc.org/doc/keywords.html
_const_
*Makes variable value or pointer parameter unmodifiable.*
When |const| is used with a variable, it uses the following syntax:
const/variable-name/ [ =/value/];
In this case, the |const| modifier allows you to assign an initial
value to a variable that cannot later be changed by the program. For
example,
const my_age = 32;
Any assignments to |'my_age'| will result in a compiler error.
However, such declaration is quite different than using
#define my_age 32
In the first case, the compiler allocates a memory for |'my_age'| and
stores the initial value 32 there, but it will not allow any later
assignment to this variable. But, in the second case, all occurences
of |'my_age'| are simply replaced with 32 by the preprocessor
http://tigcc.ticalc.org/doc/cpp.html, and no memory will be
allocated for it.
You perhaps refer to const modifier, which is different from declaring
a constant, like in
public:
WinEDA_VertexCtrl( wxWindow* parent, const wxString title,
wxBoxSizer* BoxSizer, int units, int
internal_unit );
Also, it would be correct to use static with const, the line below would
be correct use.
static const int daysPerMonth[13] = {0,31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31};
In this case - talking about C and not C++:
|static| tells that a function or data element is only known within
the scope of the current compile. In addition, if you use the |static|
keyword with a variable that is local to a function, it allows the
last value of the variable to be preserved between successive calls to
that function.
const says that data is not modifiable, so static would say the same
thing. Note also the ambiguity of the keyword when applied to data
global to a module, and data local to a function - the same keyword does
two very different things.
Having said that, The original question was not about C, I think Fabian
was simply asking about the scope of constants in classes (in Gambas)
Uhm... is it forbidden to cite other languages to better explain a
concept? So why you cited C++?
Anyway, you are right, the original question was about scope. In gambas
scope is governed by PRIVATE and PUBLIC. Full stop.
If you feel that my reply is a little hurting, excuse me; it is because
your reply seemed hurting to me. Prove to me that I am wrong and I will
publicly apologize.

About integer division, there are other reasons apart from wanting an *integer* division: for example is faster. Regards, Doriano I noticed that operator evaluation order differ between languages, even if they agree on most parts. So I decided to raise an error when the compiler encounters different operators having the same evaluation order weight, and when I thought that the interpreter may not do what the user thinks. By compelling the user to add brackets, I make the source code less ambiguous for another reader, so this is a good thing. But the test is not perfect, and I don't remember why I do not raise the error for 1/2*3 and I raise it for 1\2*3. Maybe because that mixing * and / is usual in mathematics, but mixing an integer division with a normal multiplication not, and I wanted to force the use of brackets.

Yes, I have libgif-4.1.6-6. I tried reinstalling all image libraries that I could find. Still no good.

Re: [Gambas-user] Cannot save a gif image
Thanks for responding Jussi, The image is a result of an image.load previously in the code. It may have been loaded as a gif, jpg, png or bmp. 'this works ok imgfile = user.home / tmpfile.jpg imageout.Save(imgfile) '-- 'this works ok imgfile = user.home / tmpfile.png imageout.Save(imgfile) '-- ' this does not work. error message say 'cannot save file' imgfile = user.home / tmpfile.gif imageout.Save(imgfile) I have written a few apps in gambas, with plenty of file handling, but I don't generally use gifs. I tried it with images, pictures, pictureboxes. and in every case I can save anything but a gif. Its driving me nuts. I cannot see any other postings about this problem. So I guess it must be something with my setup. Have you any ideas of what to try next? Regards Les Hardy Jussi Lahtinen wrote: Save gif from where?

Re: [Gambas-user] Cannot save a gif image
Yes, You have it. Just checked. Looks like QImageIO was compiled without gif support on ubuntu 9.04 , and I am using gb.qt. My Thanks to all that responded. Regards Les Hardy Benoît Minisini wrote: In Gambas 2, the image save function is managed by the GUI component: which one do you use? gb.qt or gb.gtk? I know, for example, that Qt can be compiled without GIF support. So on a system with Qt compiled that way, Gambas projects using gb.qt won't be able to deal with gif files.

Or maybe it does already exist in the SerialPort class, and I didn't see it. Nothing strange really. Its been like that as long as I can remember. It is not possible to tranfer binary data correctly without setting the icrnl and ocrnl flags off. Its been a long time since I was near C, but I'm fairly sure they are included in termios.h, and are the c_iflag and c_oflag.

mike wrote: I'm having trouble with Gambas and the serial ports. Something is changing binary h0d to h0a when received from a serial port. I noticed it in a program that I've been working on that receives packets of binary data from a microprocessor. I wrote a little test program to demonstrate the problem and have included it below. I also reprogrammed the micro to simply send h0d as long a pushbutton is held depressed. I have verified that the correct data is indeed being sent using CuteCom to display the binary data. An interesting thing that I noticed when I ran CuteCom to test the data being received is that if I close CuteCom without closing the serial port first then run my Gambas program, it works fine until I restart the system. If I close the port before closing CuteCom then my Gambas program fails. This is the code for the test program.
