1. Linux Beta Release Now Available
The Linux Euphoria 2.2 beta release is now available
from:
http://www.RapidEuphoria.com/v20.htm
The release notes are at:
http://www.RapidEuphoria.com/relnotes22.htm
Several new library routines were added, and these will
also be added to WIN32+DOS32.
After some beta-testing time, there will be an
Official Release for Linux 2.2, followed by a
2.2 beta release for WIN32+DOS32, followed
by a 2.2 Official Release for WIN32+DOS32 that
will bring the 3 platforms into sync. After that I expect
to do some platform-independent things, such as
namespace improvements.

I just noticed the define_c_var() function is part of the Linux and Win32
libraries. Does this work with data structure elements as well? I hope so -
it would make the job of porting the GTK and xlib stuff a *lot* easier.

I'm not sure I can implement define_c_var() on WIN32.
I've only implemented it for Linux so far. On Win32 I'm
using the API routine GetProcAddress() to get .dll routine
addresses, but there doesn't seem to be any
"GetVarAddress". On Linux, there's a routine that handles
both vars and routines. It gives you the base address
of a variable, but it doesn't know anything about
C structure elements (i.e. fields and their offsets).

Rob
Why can't you just return the results of the "C" address operator ?
-- allocate the variable or get it from some where then
example -- return &the_variable
That would work on any platform that has a "C" compiler.

I could hard-code: &bernie
into the source code of exw.exe, and I could
link against any .dll that exports "bernie", but for
define_c_var() I need to *dynamically* create a string
at run-time containing the name of *any* variable that
you choose, and then I have to somehow get the
address of that variable for you. In Linux it's easy.
In WIN32 there's no obvious way to do it. Maybe when
I start working on WIN32+DOS32 again
I'll find a non-obvious way.

Rob
HGLOBAL GlobalAlloc( UINT uflags, DWORD, dwBytes)
allocates bytes off the heap the flags tell if you want it to be fixed
removable, discardable, etc.
define_c_var(char *var_name)
{
return GlobalAlloc( GMEM_FIXED, sizeof(var_name) )
}

Or do it in Eu like i did: make a sequence, store the var name in the first
subseq and the contents as the second subseq. To find the var again, look at
each odd-numbered subseq,, the value will be in the next subseq,, and that
value can be an array of sequences too.

PS
I forgot to put the string in to the allocated memory
but you get the idea of what I mean.

The Linux Euphoria is compatible with Linux Slackware 4.0 ?
