TCLib update for Patrice

[James C. Fuller]

Patrice,
  You must have an include file somewhere including <stdlib.h> .
I'll try renaming them to see if that helps.

Patrice,
  This is the test code I used for the math functions.

#define RAND_MAX 0x7fff belongs to stdlib.h so it should be defined explicitly elsewhere since stdlib.h is eliminated altogether.

The main difference between you and me is that you don't use the IDE.

I have attached the full VS 2015 community project to create the 64-bit OpenGL bbp_Laserbeam.dll (13312 bytes) to be used with the latest MBox64.exe player.

I shall try to convert the other plugins, once the rand() and srand() problem will be sorted out

Thank you for helping me to produce this tiny visual plugin.
As a matter of comparison the size of the PowerBASIC 32-bit LaserBeam.dll plugin is 35328 bytes, that means 2.65 bigger, i am very happy!

[James C. Fuller]

Patrice,
  Try this one.

Thanks for the rand and rnd functions, i didn't see your post until today.

[Patrice Terrier]

Fred

What do you use to replace the srand function to seed the pseudorandom-number ?

[Patrice Terrier]

Amazing

i have been able to reduce the size of most of my plugins by a factor ranging between 4 and 7 !!!

[Frederick J. Harris]

Patrice, I don't think I have any implementation for srand().  I had only run into the problem of coming up with a replacement for PowerBASIC's Rnd() function in converting a multi-threaded example I posted here some time ago...

http://www.jose.it-berater.org/smfforum/index.php?topic=5058.0

...from PowerBASIC to C++.  As you are probably aware, C's rand produces a rather limited range of integers.  I forget the exact range, but its rather limited.  For my example I needed numbers like PowerBASIC's Rnd() would generate, so I scaled them into an acceptable range.

Later, when I attempted to get that example working with my TCLib, I ran into the same problem you did, that is, I hadn't included in TCLib an implementation of rand() or srand().  So I hunted around on the internet a bit and found what I did for rand() and that by itself met my simple needs at the time.  The implementation seems to use integer overflow to get crazy numbers. 

Just off the top of my head, I think there are two solutions possible if you need rand() or srand().  First, you could hunt around the internet for an implementation of srand().  My guess is it wouldn't be too hard to come up with something.

The other possibility would be to simply include it within TCLib itself in the manner Jim seems to have done with the trig and other Math functions.  Its a fairly straightforward process.  As I've said before, the C Runtime is loaded into every GUI process.  All the C Runtime functions are there, including, I'm assuming, rand() and srand().  Its just a matter of calling LoadLibrary() to get the dll HINSTANCE, and calling GetProcAddress() to get a pointer to the function.  In many cases the function pointer can be named exactly the same as the function itself, and the usage is the same. 

[James C. Fuller]

Patrice,
  I noticed in your bbp_Laserbeam.cpp source you are not including TCLib\tchar.h.
This is a vital component that eliminates the duplicate definitions for rand srand.

James

[Patrice Terrier]

Code: [Select]

LoadLibrary() to get the dll HINSTANCE, and calling GetProcAddress()
OF COURSE, that could be the easiest solution!

[James C. Fuller]

Fred,
  I have found that renaming the functions in the TCLib and then using tchar.h for the translation seems to work fine.
For rand and srand I just prefaced with an underscore but I am going to go back and preface everything with tcl_.

I found I needed fflush so :

tcl_fflush = (int (__cdecl*)(FILE* fp)) GetProcAddress(hLib,"fflush");

Then in tchar.h:
#define fflush tcl_fflush

[Mike Lobanovsky]

... C's rand produces a rather limited range of integers.  I forget the exact range, but its rather limited.

The ISO standard declares a compatible C rand() function's exact range to be entirely compiler implementation dependent but states that it be at least 0 thru 32767 inclusive. As it happens, both VC and GCC define their RAND_MAX value as 0x7FFF, which is exactly 32767 decimal.

[Patrice Terrier]

Here is what i came with to simulate the PowerBASIC:
RANDOMIZE TIMER

Code: [Select]

typedef void (*FuncWithParams)(DWORD seed);
void RandoMize(IN DWORD seed) {
    HMODULE hModule = LoadLibrary(L"MSVCRT");
    if (hModule) {
        FuncWithParams hProc;
        hProc = (FuncWithParams) GetProcAddress(hModule, "srand");
        if (hProc) { hProc(seed); }
    }
}

void RandomizeTimer() {
//    //static long done;
//    //if (!done) { srand((DWORD) time(NULL)); done = !done; }
    //srand((DWORD) time(NULL));
    RandoMize((DWORD) time(NULL));
}
i shall post the source code of all the new TCLib plugins on www.objreader.com to render in Mbox64.exe

...

[Patrice Terrier]

i was missing the log2 function.
here is what i came with

Code: [Select]

#define M_LOG2E 1.44269504088896340736
#define double_proc typedef double (__stdcall *zProc)

HMODULE MSVCRT() {
    static HMODULE hModule;
    if (hModule == 0) { hModule = LoadLibrary(L"MSVCRT"); }
    return hModule;
}

double log2(IN double X) {
    double l2 = 0;
    HMODULE hModule = MSVCRT();
    if (hModule) {
        double_proc (double);
        zProc hProc = (zProc) GetProcAddress(hModule, "log");
        if (hProc) { l2 = hProc(X) * M_LOG2E; }
    }
    return l2;
}
