Visual Basic Q?

[vanjast]

Yes yes.. I know  :bg
As mentioned.. I test concepts in VB before I apply to Asm..

I came across a real funny in VB... Stack overflow??
After a few times i thought that there must be something re-entrant happening... and true's Bob it was.

I usually write VB as I write asm, returning True or False.
With VB the boolean is applied to the FUNCTION name....
..but I made the mistake of applying this to a SUB name, and this made it go 're-entrant' and stack overflow

just off the cuff, any clues... I don't want to go to any VB forums as this is only a test thingy, otherwise I'll just move on..

...I've heard it said that Visual Basic is actually a disease,... :eek
...OH !!! YEAH !!!...
:dazzled: I see what you mean,...by,...Yes, yes, I know,... :dazzled:

we cannot "gleen" the answer without seeing some code   :lol

Can you optimize this code for me dedndave?



just kiddin dave...

[dedndave]

by god, that looks pretty optimal to me, just the way it is   :bg

I CAN SEE ALL OBSTACLES IN MY WAY
Gone are are the dark clouds that had me blind

Poetry is madness.


What could possibly be less natural, if you observe a fish:

1: You write about it
2: You eat it.  :lol

[dedndave]

first, you alter the fish by merely observing it   :bg

that's why everything tastes like chicken

As an assembly programmer, we are trained to think logically and we are trained to eliminate trapholes and flaws. But once in a while, you should consider a joke.  :bg

Ask Olly, he usually has an answer :bg

P.S.: When I went to the forum this morning, there were 88 guests and 15 unread posts, virtually all of them related to programming. Until YOU came along with this dirty talk about Irish whores and rotten fish and poetry and the like :naughty:

What's wrong with Irish whores ? Such a nice girl to be sure to be sure.  :P

i dunno what dark matter is, but i am sure it comes with a chicken flavour packet   :lol

OK code thingy

ASM

myProc Proc..

   blah blah
   blah blah
   .
   .
   Return TRUE   ;if OK ( FALSE if NOK)


myProc   Endp

VB Function

Public  Function myFunc () as boolean
On Error goto ThisError           'simple error handler
  myFunc = TRUE                   'The OK signature

  Exit Function                       'Outa here!

ThisError:
   myFunc = FALSE                  'NOK indicator
End Function

I made a mistake by doing the same with a Subroutine (SUB)
VB Subroutine

Public SUB mySub ()
On Error goto ThisError           'simple error handler
  mySub = TRUE                    'The OK signature - THIS PRODUCES A RE-ENTRANT PROCEDURE
                                           'IT PROBABLY STUFFS UP THE RETURN STACK POINTER

  Exit SUB                              'Outa here!

ThisError:
   mySub = FALSE                  'NOK indicator - THIS WILL GET IT OUT OF THE RE-ENTRANT CYCLE
End Sub

Maybe this might effect the Power Basic code

..Ten green bottles standing on the wall..  :wink

[dedndave]

maybe it's the ExitSub - not really sure how the VB compiler handles that
try this...

   mySub = FALSE                  'NOK indicator - THIS WILL GET IT OUT OF THE RE-ENTRANT CYCLE

  Exit SUB                              'Outa here!

End Sub
if that doesn't fly
you have GOTO ?   :P
