Short: V1.02 - Brand new powerful programming langage. Support for 680x0 and PPC
Author: alphasnd@sdv.fr (Fantaisie Software)
Uploader: alphasnd@sdv.fr (Frederic Laboureur)
Version: 1.02
Type: dev/basic
Pure Basic is brand new 'high level' programming langage based on the
previoulsy etablished B.A.S.I.C rules. It ensure a good compatibility
with similar basic compiler independement of the computer. The learning
is easy, as basic has been created for beginner and the development time
is really fast.
This software has been developed for the Amiga with the Amiga enviromment
in mind. We have put lot of effort in its realization to produce fast,
reliable and system friendly langage. The respect of the OS is always the
master word, and you couldn't write bad software with the basic commandset
provided. Of course, you could add any other functions to bash the hardware
and use all the Amiga power, if you need it.
The syntax is easy, but the possibities are huge because some 'advanced'
functions has been added to this langage like pointers, structure,
procedure, dynamic linked lists, and more.. For the experienced coder,
there is no problem to access any of the legal OS structures or amiga
objects.
Finally, Pure Basic support the 680x0 processor and in early stage the
PowerPC. The PowerPC processor is not fully working yet because we don't have
any PPC accelerator at the Fantaisie Software team to achieve the tests.
The 68000 part has been very optimized to output the best code as possible,
but we're sure we could do even better !
Look yourself at the main features of Pure Basic:
- 68000 and 68020+ support (PowerPC in progress)
- Built-in Array, dynamic linked list, complex structure, pointer
and variable definitions
- Supported types: Byte (8 bit), Word (16 bits), Long (32) and user
defined ones (structures)
- Signed (finished) and unsigned (partially) support for standard types
- Built-in strings type
- Constants, binary and hexadecimal numbers support
- Very good expression reducer by grouping constants and numeric numbers together
- Standard arithmetic support with respect of signs priority and parenthesis:
+, -, /, *, and, or, lsl, asl, lsr, asr
- Compile about 30 000 lines/min on a 68030/50 (with PoolMem installed)
- Procedure support for structured programming with locals and global variables
(not fully finished)
- All Standard BASIC keywords: If-Else-EndIf, Repeat-Until ...
- External libraries support to manipulate easily objects like IFF pictures,
screens, windows, gadgets...
- Precompiled structures and constants files for extra fast compiling.
- Cool debugger to stop the program execution and trace the bugs easily.
- Configurable CLI compiler
- System friendly, easy to install and always under development
