- Short: New Blitzbasic2 Version with FPU etc (incl. German AB2, PED&docs)
- Author: Acidsoft /Red When Excited /berndroesch1@compuserve.de
- Uploader: Cj-Stroker@web.de (Webmaster at Amiforce)
- Type: dev/basic
-
- Thanks to Mark Sibly and Simon Armstrong and RWE that they give me the Source and allow me to
- enhance my loved Blitzbasic2 and release it in Aminet as Amiblitz2
- The name Amiblitz2 is used because under Blitzbasic people
- mean the PC Version now.
- SO DONT SENT ANY MAIL ABOUT THIS VERSION TO ACID OR RWE only to the uploader
-
- This is 100% (i hope) compatibel to Blitz2
-
- Copy amiblitz2 and ped to your blitzdir (The old Version work then too)
- Make sure you have the wizard.library (H&P Stormwizard 2.0 Lib) in libs:
- Copy blitzlibs/patchlibs to your blitzlibs/patchlibs dir: make a new deflibs file
- (deflibs also included for ready to run)
- If you want to use 68k asm fpu and ppc asm copy fpulib.obj to userlibs/beta
- uses num 217 218 (mui lib use 218 so remove the muilib if you use this)
- If you want stormwizard copy wzlib.obj to userlibs/beta uses num 129
- (for ppc this is also needed)
- See examples and amigaguide for stormwizard
- If you want change anything of this in libsource is the source
- The program ppceq2 in examples dir is only need when you want
- program Bars&Pipes Plugins in PPC assembler
-
- ahi bars&Pipes PPC stormwizard includes are in blitzlibs dir
- Also a all.res file is includeed for ready to run
-
-
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!See new features also in history
-
- Newslist:
- New 2.21
- Fixes see history
- A prefs file ped.prefs is used now for settings so save your settings again
-
- CTRL+U Undo Current Line
- CTRL+CRSUP Begin
- CTRL+CRSDOWN end
- In pattern Gadgets you can use now 2 search phrases
- (word1 AND word2 must in line)
-
- Tooltypes to amiblitz add
-
- oldsearch = dont jump on beginning when call search dialog
- backdrop = Use backdropwindow for text
- (usefull for users which have no hotkey for window to back)
- So this is set by default
- dontsort = do not sort lableview in alphabetic order
- libfile = Let choose your deflibsfile.Shows deflibfile name in labelwindow
-
-
-
- AmiBlitz Basic 2 V2.2 changes
- Editor
- Clickjump
- ALT+Left Mouse (crs right) jump to function/label etc
- ALT+Mid Mouse (crs up) back to old pos
- (crs down) back to previous pos
- Hotlist:show all label begin with . and functions
- max lines in Listview is set to 1000
- Use the selectstring Gad. to precise your search
- ; Button List all comments
- all Button List all (use the select string)
- Case Butt List all case
- cls clear the findstringgadget
-
-
- Pressing and holding mousebuton over a list to slide fast thru the entries
- View Newtype: allow findstring to easier find types You can sort by name
- or by offset
- In the Windowtitle you can select with powersnap and insert
-
- Instruction Help: Press Help with no char under the cursor
- (wi in selectstring all instructions with wi found)
- Doubleclicking opens Guide help (if available)
- Pressing help over a functioncall shows the 1. functionline and number used
- Pressing help over a word shows the wordcount so you can check if a basicvar is free
- or write wrong(if you want a new var it should 0/If you want access var1 it should show >0)
-
- Hotlist Newtype and Instruction help can always stay open
- New menupoints
- Save & createexec
- Save & compile/execute
-
- Save current textpos so when load Source is show in same line
-
- Blitzbasic Compiler:
- Faster compiletime: (2-5* on large progs (30000 lines)because of using variable Hash ALG)
- (Large Include Files now have no speed loss)
- optimizer: (Need fpulib.ob)
- add to your program optimize 1 switch it on or optimize 0 switch Integer off
- optimize 2 switch 68k FPU for Basic on
- optimze 3 switch Integer Optimizer on AND switch FPU on
- By default it is off.If you develop a program dont use it.(Writing a optimizer
- must support many terms and i am the only that using Amiblitz2 so i am not sure
- if it is 100% errrorfree)
- In debugMode the FPU is always deactivte
- If your program is ready switch it on.If your program crash (Should not occur)
- you can find the statement and switch it off before and after that you can
- switch it on.If you find the place mail me the code sequence so i can try to fix it
- FPU switch must on before the first line (data dependency))
- What does it?
- it optimize if then,constant add,typeaccess and add a 32bit mul 32bit div
- Normally Code is ca 10%-20% slower than C if you not use too much
- functioncalls per second (use gosub then)
- For the FPU keep in mind that it use fsin fasin fsinh etc this is emulate
- in 040-060 (In UAEJIT it give full Speed)
-
- Allow Speech Plugins (PPC Asm& 68k FPU exists now)
- You can add all processor codegens (X86 ARM C LISP all you want)
- See the fpulib.bb2 it add 68kfpu and PPC Inline Assembler
-
-
- You can write libs,plugins now:
- see the bars&Pipes examples or of course ted2.bb2
-
- Allow Chip/BSS Segments (only one)
-
- On macros you need not { } after a label you need no :
-
- load .asm:
- trys to convert a .asm File from other assemblers to Blitz
- Structures etc
- (See convert.asm to see what happen
- If this is worser as the old rename the .asm)
-
- Lines can join with @@ for long tag lists (see blitzlibs/ahi.bb2 at end)
-
- allow all 256 Chars in strings (©®öäü etc)
-
- muls.l/mulu.l/divs.l/divu.l in assembler (only reg reg is support now)
-
- Putd0 Getd0 fast way to move vars from basic to asm (1 68k Cycle)
-
- This is a short explain of the AmiBlitz2 features
-
- Also enforcer hits in Editor and Compiler are removed (I hope)
-
- From BB_Bugs now this files work correct (I hope)
- aslFilereq
- Dim
- d2trash
- sta_fun
- BTW AmiBlitz2.2 and ped is complete port to Amiblitz2.2 mixed Assembler
- and Basic 20000 Lines take under 2 Sec with all.res to compile
-
-
-
- Basicvars can access in assembler global move.l basicvarname@(a5),dx
- local move.l basicvarname@(a4),dx
- newtypes move.l newtypevar@(a5),a0
- move.l .newtypename\entry(a0),d0
-
- float: fmove.s basicvarname@(a5),dx (FPU on)
-
- PPC: lwz rx,basicvar@(r8)
-
- function/statement FAST funcname{} FAST (must write exact)
-
- The fast keyword tell that like C the local Vars are not set to zero
- (This save 20 Cycles +var*2)Note that you can get trouble like C if you make not
- not sure that a variable is set to a define value
-

-
-
- Bugreport ideas usw send to berndroesch1@compuserve.de
- If someone want programing on AmiBlitz2 too mail also
-
- Known Problems:
-
- If you have save a wrong screenmode clear envarc:ted.prefs env:ted.prefs
-
- If the " " pair is not correct then wrong Instruction chars are shown
- (old Version show then Instruktion in black char).If you correct the " "
- to a sensefull state and move cursor up/down all is correct (no data lost possible)
-
- This is because Amiblitz2 use now full 256 Chars, before it use only char
- 1-127 and all above are instructions
-
