better handling for command line help options (-? --help etc)
many linux64 mods (more may be needed, uploading a new version will make my next round of testing easier)
zip file split into phiz1.zip and phix2.zip (makes wget of them much easier)
problem with empty one-line procedures fixed.
declaring routine_ids mid-self of routines with >2 params crash fixed.
trace(3) added. Exposed a bug in file i/o which is still outstanding.
Added builtins\ipc.e and builtins\serialize.e (see docs/other libs)
int_to_bytes() now has an optional size parameter.
bytes_to_int() now has an optional signed parameter.
Added crash_routine(), pad_head(), pad_tail() and vslice().
time() should now be compatible with windows XP.

EDIT: pad_head and pad_tail did not make it into the docs, but have now been added, ready for the next release.

Latest version: 0.7.2 Release date: 10th February 2017 Status: IUP now works on Linux.
Source code: Incuded. No other tools are required to modify and rebuild Phix.
On Linux simply unpack either of the above to $HOME/phix
Regarding the one line of Linux instructions, I think Pete might have meant "unpack both of the above to $HOME/phix. At any rate that is what I did on my Ubuntu 16.04 LNX 64-bit system.
ken@ken-desktop:~/phix$ ls bench Listdir.bat pcore.e pe32.fmt p.exw phix pltype.e profile.e ptok.e test builtins Listdir.reg pcross.ico peama.ew p.fmt phixzip.bat pmain.e psched.e pttree.e copyright.txt ok.ico pdebug.e pEmit2.e pgets0.ew pilasm.e pmsgs.e psym.e pw.exe demo p2asm.e pdemo.exw pemit.e pglobals.e pilx86.e pops.e pth.exw readme.txt docs pbinary.e pdiag.e perror.ew pgui.exw plist.e ppw.bat ptick.ico sfx
I made phix and pw.exe executable files. My attempts to execute them failed:
ken@ken-desktop:~/phix$ ./phix -bash: ./phix: No such file or directory ken@ken-desktop:~/phix$ ./pw.exe -bash: ./pw.exe: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error ken@ken-desktop:~/phix$
I suspected that the download files were windows specific and that I might have to recompile for Linux. I was encouraged by the bold assertions:
No other tools are required to modify and rebuild Phix... To recompile Phix itself, simply run "p -cp"."
No Joy:
ken@ken-desktop:~/phix$ p -cp p: command not found ken@ken-desktop:~/phix$ ./p -cp -bash: ./p: No such file or directory ken@ken-desktop:~/phix$
I suspect that a Linux installation requires more than simply unpacking files into to $HOME/phix.

Ken Rhodes

I'll have to give this new version a try. The more I play around with Phix, the more I like it.

Yes, I'll update the page

And that should also say or "./phix -cp". (on windows p.exe should be created during the install process, btw)

ken@ken-desktop:~/phix$ ./phix -bash: ./phix: No such file or directory ken@ken-desktop:~/phix$ ./pw.exe -bash: ./pw.exe: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error ken@ken-desktop:~/phix$
pw.exe is a windows executable; you can delete that.
phix is a 32-bit linux executable.
I have just uploaded http://phix.x10.mx/p64, a wholly untested 64-bit version (of that one file, which I plan to test tomorrow, and fairly confidently predict I will find problems with it).
Alternatively you could try following http://askubuntu.com/questions/454253/how-to-run-32-bit-app-in-ubuntu-64-bit
Thanks for trying,
Pete

Hi Pete
Just dropped it in (overwrote everything), all seems to be working fine.
However, may I request the return of without warning - it does generate a lot of warnings for unused functions and variables. I could do it myself (I have found where it prints them, and just need to find where it reads it in the program, then set a global variable to not print them), but this deviates from 'core' Phix, which is something I don't want to do.
Cheers
Chris
PS - I also found in the help file where to modify pmain.e (just commented out elsif testall then), but that didn't seem to make any difference.

Good to hear

consider it done

Try editing it like this (comment out 14 lines, and put the 4 from pre-22/5/2016 back in):
--/* ----added 7/7/16: -- optset[k] = OptOn ----DEV (spotted in passing) 28/6/16: I think I messed up for profile/profile_time... ---- elsif k=OptWarning then ---- finalOptWarn[fileno] = OptOn ---- end if ---- optset[k] = OptOn -- elsif testall then -- if k=OptWarning then -- finalOptWarn[fileno] = OptOn -- end if -- optset[k] = OptOn -- elsif k!=OptWarning then -- optset[k] = OptOn -- end if --*/ elsif k=OptWarning then finalOptWarn[fileno] = OptOn end if optset[k] = OptOn
(if I ever need something like that again, maybe I'll see whether builtins\warnings.ini exists or somesuch)
Pete
