What will be the differences with the new version?

What will be the differences with the new version of FnxBasic?
Will there be 64bit Int64 type support? (i think mostly for files)
More objects or objects expanded? (like InsertRow, MoveRow for StringGrid)
Compile time constants like _LINE_, _DATE_ or _FILE_?

Regards,
Fred.

Hi,

The new one will be faster, shorter bytecode and sub objects like the canvas,font ther will be some new command and functions added but most important this version is not a dead ended one in the future new properties and methods and objects can be added. A new keyword is record to handle records.
As soon if I had a working version it will be published at this forum, unless not all is added type and objects array and my sql will be added afterwards. But that doesn`t matter because the base stay`s the same.

The shorter bytecode, implies that the generated code would be smaller in size?

[Marco]

The `interpreter` is now around the 280kb against 340 kb for the old version.
The byte code will be shorter I think it will be around 40 percent shorter, so the compiler will be shorter and the generated exe will be shorter.

Usually shorter code means also faster :)
I think easy of use and speed are more important then file size but i sounds good.
Now we just have to wait and if i see the progress i expect that a new beta version will be soon :)

Fred.
