à partir de la version 6.0 PureBasic utilisera gcc pour compiler (à la place de Fasm), plus d'infos sur le blog https://www.purebasic.fr/blog/

[EDIT]
Petite correction : gcc ne va pas remplacer Fasm, les 2 seront maintenus. Cependant j'imagine que si PureBasic devait fonctionner pour un nouveau processeur, Fred ne développera pas une version ASM, dans ce cas il faudra compiler avec gcc. à suivre ...

Hello Everybody,

After months of development, we are very proud to release the next generation of PureBasic ! As shared on the blog (https://blog.purebasic.com), we added a new C backend to solve the problem of new CPU architectures.

For now, only the Windows x64 version is available for testing. It's an alpha-version, so don't expect your big programs to compile and run fawlessly on it. The main purpose for now is to squash all the remaining bugs (and it will have probably a ton) to have the C backend at the same level than the current ASM backend. For this, we opened a new specific forum to report C related backend.

How to proceed:
- In the IDE, add a new compiler (File -> Preferences -> Compiler -> Choose 'pbcompilerc' file with the file requester -> Add). It should now appear in the list. In the 'Compiler options', you should be able to select it in the combobox.
- Compile a small program. If something is wrong, try to reduce the faulty code to the smallest snippet and post it in the bug forum.
- Also please test your large programs with the regular ASM backend compiler to ensures everything still work, as we modified a lot of code in it as well.

C Backend limitations:

- No Label address in datasection (?Label)
- No Label operation in 'Debug' output window
- No DLL creation support (in progress)
- Empty Structure are not supported (may be add a compiler error on PB side ?)
- Float to long rounding are not exactly the same (use bankerrounding)

New stuffs:

- Added /OPTIMIZER flag to the commandline, and a 'Use code optimizer' checkbox in IDE 'Compiler Options' to turn on C optimizations
- Added #PB_Compiler_32Bit, #PB_Compiler_64Bit and #PB_Processor_C constants

Don't hesitate to play with it and send you feedback ! Of course, don't use it in production, it's an alpha version and could lead to disastrous bugs.

You can download it on your online account.

Have fun !

Tout est dans le titre :

Alpha is 2 is out ! Thank you a lot to have spent time to test the new version, we have fixed most of the reported bugs, so don't hesistate to give it another try to make it as good as possible. Please also test the regular compiler (ASM backend) to ensure there is no regression on this compiler. Here are the alpha 2 change list:

- Removed #PB_Compiler_C constant and replaced it with #PB_Compiler_Backend, with #PB_Backend_C and #PB_Backend_Asm values
- Added Purifier support
- Updated fasm, polink, polib and porc to lastest versions

[comtois]

Alpha 3 is available ! This is big milestone for us, as the IDE fully compile and run using the C backend ! It should be a great step over a stable version, we will continue to work on it and iron up all the reported bugs. Thanks to all the testers !

[comtois]

Selon le blog de PureBasic Team, une version 6.0 bêta ne devrait pas tarder, avec peut-être une version pour Raspberry
https://www.purebasic.fr/blog/?p=508

à suivre...

Version 4 dispo sur votre compte.

Alpha 4 is ready to test ! We fixed almost all reported bugs (except one), so we hope we are closer to a beta release. Next step is adding DLL support and building the C compiler on Linux and OS X. Don't hesitate to give it a try, and report any differences between the ASM and C backend.

[comtois]

Alpha 5 is out and includes now DLL creation and the x86 (32-bit) version for Windows ! It also includes newer import libs for Windows on both x86 and x64 so if you needed to import newer Windows functions, it should now be recognized. The 32-bit linker has been as well updated and now support newer lib formats. Don't hesitate to test as usual, the C backend should be good enough for a wider trial.

Sur le Blog Purebasic on peut lire ça (https://www.purebasic.fr/blog/?p=514) :

Sneak peak into new CPU support for C back-end

I just finished the x86 (32-bit) support for the C Back-end on Windows and it barely took a week to do. Most of the time was spent on upgrading the build chain (linker, windows static libs, packaging the 32-bit version of gcc etc.), it was very very fast. Next step is to work on a ‘real’ new architecture, probably ARM M1 for OS X, looks interesting !

PureBasic on Apple M1 processors

Last week, I bought a new Mac Mini to be able to port PureBasic on the new Apple M1 chip. First boot looks very familiar, you can’t really tell there is a new processor here. A quick look at the Task Monitor and we can see all the programs running on an ‘Apple’ CPU. Great. All seems smooth so far, a very quiet computer in a small form factor.

After a few minutes toying with the prefs to plugin my PC keyboard and Monitor on a KVM switch, I was ready to start to dev, and downloaded XCode. It was the longest installation I never experienced, at a point I though the Mini was broken. It tooks over 4 (four !) hours to install (after downloading). Seems to be known issue if I believe all the posts found on Reddit. Needed to install homebrew for subversion (I know, I know) and I finally started hacking the compiler.

This promised to be exciting, as the C toolchain isn’t based on gcc but on clang/LLVM. I expected some adjustements to do here and here, but there were actually zero. Everything compiled out of the box and the first running executable was created after half day. Two more days and the whole compiler test suits was working which was amazing ! There is indeed some more work to do to build the full package, as some libraries needs to be tuned (missing headers due to new Cocoa SDK mainly), build scripts adjusted and so on, but it does looks very bright.

This will be the first version of PureBasic shipped without an assembly back-end. It does feel a bit weird for me, but I know it will do the job just fine to build your cool apps on new Macs !

Hello Everybody,

The final version is available on your accounts ! It's been a long journey, more than a year and half to create the update, but the support of new processors (and new OS), the upgrade of some core libraries, many bug fixes and new features included will make it worthwhile ! Thanks a lot for your patience, and looking forward for future versions !

[PowerB]

Bonjour,
J'ai actuellement un excellent Basic Windows 32 bits (Power Basic pour ne pas le nommer). Je suis à la recherche d'un Basic capable de générer des exécutables en instructions SSE 64 bits utilisant les 32 registres 64 bits. Et si possible, le jeu d'instructions AVX 512F qui permet, en outre, 64 registres. Je souhaite également une passerelle assembleur intégrée qui autorise l'accès aux jeux d'instructions 64 bits les plus récents.
Est-ce que les versions les plus récentes de Pure Basic permettent cela ?
Merci d'avance et bravo pour ce produit qui semble être très performant.
Cordialement
Robert

PS: pour expliquer ma demande, je programme beaucoup en assembleur sur Windows 32 bits et un peu en 64 bits (avec ML64.EXE). Accessoirement, j'utilise Power Basic pour mes besoins de programmation courants.
