Currently functions only have very limited optional argument support,
this expands it so that we can have more complex sets of optional
arguments for functions, such as multiple arguments where not all need
to be provided. This will be used in the future for some upcoming
functionality.
Note that this does not support any generic optional argument format,
the commas always have to be provided unless an optional argument is at
the end of the parameter list. Thus, if you have a format with two
optional arguments and you want to omit the second, then you need to call
it as 'foo(2, , 3)`, rather than `foo(2, 3)`. This is important for
avoiding ambiguous situations, and is how many SUBs currently function.
The two functions that violate that requirement are INSTR() and
_INSTRREV(), which use the format `[?],?,?` and allow omitting the comma
for the first argument. This format is simply handled as a special case.

- unused (commented) code
- no longer needed HTML tag handling (eliminated from Wiki pages)
- #toc/#top link filters removed (those links are supported now)
- designate the help page header as target for #toc/#top links (Return to Top, Return to Table of Contents in the Wiki)
- include bottom {{PageNavigation}} links
- implement <h4> headings (==== in the Wiki), used as letter anchors in the alphabetic index
- UTF-8 handling changed to signal missing/unknown chars
- old entity handling (see 1st commit) removed and replaced by a similar method as UTF-8 handling incl. signalling missing/unknown entities
- added dynamic warnings at the top of pages which are using missing/unknown entities or UTF-8
- wikipedia pages can be linked simply as Winkipedia:page instead of the full URL
- advantage: the new syntax can be used in internal links as well and will automatically expanded into external links when clicked
- removed the old (commented out) curl stuff
- add another note to the error message
- simplified the libcurl download loop to use only EOF and not LOF anymore
- add a hidden external curl fallback option, read comments from line 1140 for more info
- former versions did simply link to the top of the referenced page, ignoring the link anchor value (#)
- now links can point to any page section heading and the section (if found) is placed in the visible area
- to try use the links in the bottom nav section on the alphabetical index
This helps when compiling several files in a row very quickly, Mac OS
only has a one second accuracy on the file modification time which can
cause Make to not notice a file has been modified. With the changes to
avoid startup delays it's possible to have compiles happen that quickly
in succession now.
This was overlooked in #258, previously this printing was being skipped
over via a check of idemode, but after changing where it was located so
it only prints once it now runs when using the IDE, which screwed up the
drawing of the IDE screen.
The simple fix is to check for idemode before doing the printing, which
is effectively what it was doing before anyway.
Fixes: #266
Starting with #201, source files relative to `_StartDir$` are allowed to
be passed to `-x` and compile as expected. Additionally as part of that
change, when the `-x` parameter is relative to `_StartDir$`, the `-o`
argument is _also_ treated relative to `_StartDir$`. This is simply the
behavior everyone using the compiler would expect - that the source file
and `-o` are relative to the same location.
An overlooked behavior was the executable location when `-o` is not
provided. It still writes to compiler directory, but it really should be
writing to `_Startdir$` since the output executable is intended to be
relative to the same location the source file is relative too. Overall
this is fairly straight forward to fix as the logic is the same, we just
need to make use of it when the `-o` flag is not provided.
Fixes: #257
Some commands like NoPrefix trigger a complete "recompile" due to how
they work. This has the accidental effect of duplicating the command
line output, which should still only be printed once. Moving the
printing logic up a bit is a simple solution.
Fixes: #256

This should fix the comparisons with $IF and VERSION. A few things of note here, which might affect future version labeling:
This expects to find version numbers which follow our current style -- ##.##.## -- 3 numbers, separated by periods.
Adding in alphabetic characters will basically get ignored, and versions with less than 3 values will generate FALSE results in all comparisons.
This effectively adds Http support to QB64-PE via adding $Unstable:Http
which will trigger building with DEP_HTTP, which enables Http support in
libqb.
The 'New Dialogs' menu option was renamed to 'GUI Dialogs' to better
explain what it does. Additionally the setting of which dialogs to use
is saved to the config.ini file so that it presists across multiple runs
of QB64-PE.
This gives QB64-PE the ability to automatically generate a text file
comprising all of the licenses that apply to your QB64 program. This
file can then be distributed with your program to meet the requirements
of those licenses, and also examined to understand what licenses apply
to your program.
The generation is controlled via a configuration flag, settable either
via the `Run` dialog, or via a new `-f` setting on the comamnd line.
Fixes: #145
There's some logic for handling `Bit * n` types that doesn't properly
handle NoPrefix. There's both a faulty error check which only works for
the `_` version (It was using `OR` so it always failed), and then also
the code that pulls out the number only works if the `_` is present.
Both of those are fixed in this commit.
The original issue comes from b87dde8. Fellippe was fixing using
NoPrefix types with Declare Library, which uses some of the same logic
as Static arrays. Unfortunately, his change broke the `String *n` syntax
and `Bit * n` syntax because he stopped using LEFT$() to check only the
prefix of the type. Cory fixed the issue over in QB64Official/qb64#35
by reverting the code to use LEFT$() again and I pulled some of that
logic in here.
Note that I've modified his solution a bit. During testing of that fix I
noticed that `_Unsigned Integer64` no longer worked, because is because
it aliases with `_Unsigned Integer` and the shorter type gets checked
first. This may have been what Fellippe was trying to fix (since
removing the LEFT$() avoids this issue) but it's hard to say.
I addressed that issue by only applying $LEFT() to the two types that
are allowed to have text after them (`Bit` and `String`). The rest of
the types continue to use the direct string comparison that requires an
exact match. Additionally I reorganized the checks a bit to make them
easier to read and also easier to confirm all combinations are checked.
In 094a8c82 we added the ability to compile a source file relative to
_STARTDIR$ instead of the location of the qb64pe executable. This change
fixes `-o` so that it is also treated as relative to _STARTDIR$ when the
provided source file is.
Note that this is not a real behavior change because if the provided
source file is relative to the qb64pe executable then `-o` will be as
well, which matches the previous behavior. The cases where it is made
relative to _STARTDIR$ all produced errors until 094a8c82 was done, so
there was no previous defined behavior.
Fix was pulled from QB64Official/qb64#17 by Cory Smith, I just added
tests around it.
Most (all?) compilers allow you to run the compiler from a separate
directory than the compiler itself is located in and compile source
files relative to that directory. QB64-PE however does not allow that,
for a variety of reasons it always search for the provided source file
relative to the location of the QB64-PE compiler rather than the CWD it
was run from. This is pretty unexpected behavior in a lot of cases, and
also doesn't give very helpful error messages either.
This change has us check if the source file exists at the given CWD
location, and if it does we will prepend the CWD to produce the correct
path to the file.
To test that this behavior works as expected I modified
`compile_test.sh` to compile from within the test directories using a
relative path directly to the test file, this fails with current QB64-PE
versions because it can't find the source file.
Additionally, I was unsure of whether this would impact the behavior of
`'$include`, so I added some tests around include that uses various
combinations of paths relative to QB64-PE and relative to the source
file being compiled, and they all find the files as expected so I think
it's fine.
Overall this is fairly straight forward, `evaluateconst$` has type
information on the parameters for its expressions, but it's not actually
checking that both parameters have a proper type. The result is that
expressions with nonsense values such as undefined variable names end up
just trying to use that nonsense value as an integer.
Fixes: #177
_BLUE is one of the few functions that requires multiple parameters, but
it was not included in the list of functions that require them. The
result is that gets get parsed incorrectly and _BLUE did not work.
Adding it to the check of functions that accept multiple parameters
allows it to work as expected.
Fixes: #195
Fairly simple, the order of functions meant that `_RGBA` got picked up
as `_RGB` instead, with the `A` then considered invalid syntax. Fixing
the order allows `_RGBA` to work as expected.
Fixes: #194
Using single quotes in a file name wasn't working because the Makefile
was using single quotes itself to quote the filename when providing it
to the compiler. The Makefile was switched to use double quotes instead,
which work just as well but are allowed to contain single quotes inside
of them.
Since double quotes are a legal character to have in a file name on
Linux and Mac OS, I added extra logic to start escaping double quote
characters.
I added a test to verify that we can compile source files with single
quotes in the name. I could not add a test for double quotes since such
files cannot exist on Windows and thsu cannot easily be added to the
repository.
This adds compiler settings for each of the settings in the
'Compiler Settings' IDE dialog. This makes it easy to supply the
settings per compile without needing to use the IDE to change them (or
edit the `config.ini`).
Fixes: #162
This adds MIDI support to the language as a new unstable feature. There
are two new metacommands that come with this:
$Unstable: Midi
$MidiSoundFont: [Default|"filename"]
The $Unstable command is required to be able to use any of the other
commands, and just signifies that this is not a full part of the
language yet and may change in breaking ways before the API is
finalized.
The $MidiSoundFont command enables MIDI support in the compiled program,
and also specifies what sound font to use to play MIDI files. "Default"
will make use of the soundfont placed at
'./internal/support/default_soundfont.sf2', and otherwise a filename can
be specified to use any soundfont wanted.
In either case, the selected sound font is compiled into the executable
and then loaded at runtime.
Fixes: #115
This change allows selecting the audio backend to use in your compiler
programs. The selection can be made via the 'Compiler Settings' dialog
in the IDE (renamed from the 'C++ Compiler Settings' dialog).
The new miniaudio backend is the default, a checkbox for "Use old audio
backend" exists in the IDE for switching back to the old backend (in the
event someone runs into compatibility issues or etc.). Eventually we'll
drop the old one.
- No longer constantly (over)writes files in the `internal\temp` folder while typing in the IDE, as the generated C/C++ code is buffered internally now.
- Buffers are automatically written out to disk on a `Make` request (F5/F11).
- reset .gitignore to disallow any internal\help uploads again (folder is created during build now)
- get rid of old changelog (changes can better be summarized at release pages)
- added a change by @dkearns from the old QB64Team repository (comment highlighting after `REM`)
- the pure fact we're running the qb64pe executable causes creation of file tempfoldersearch.bin on LNX/OSX only, which must be deleted after run (this caused LNX/OSX checks to fail)
- Wiki parser: added $ to the list of critical file name chars (LNX/OSX doesn't like those)
