Do you have any plan to turn thinbasic into a real compiler ?

Patrice,
You really should have a peek at OxygenBasic. It creates both 32 and 64 bit binaries. (.exe, .dll and JIT in memory) You would be a valuable asset to the O2 project.

I am thinking of a code translator, and the real compiler could be the Microsoft CL (Command Line compiler) or any other command line utility.
For me that would be the only way to create a reliable 64-bit version of PowerBASIC.
And the use of macro could be part of the solution :
"then" = "{"
"else" = "} else {"
"next" = "}"
"end if" = "}"
"end sub" = "}"
"end function" = "}"
etc.

Patrice,
You were one of the first PB pros to migrate t0 C/C++. What value do you see in PB syntax that would justify an epic effort to convert it to C/C++? Why would this be better than OxygenBasic? If you can't answer these questions than you may be wasting your time. (and everyone else's)
It is not for me, but for those from the PowerBASIC forum that are relunctant to learn C/C++
The thinBasic syntax is so close to what they are accustomed to.

ThinBasic is an interpreter and a fine one at that. I can't speak for Eros but he has a real life (and family) and TB is a labor of love. Quit ignoring O2!
Easy...Johnny...yie..haaa ....easy...
Patrick have a good reason to ask about syntax ,o2 in current state is good choice but i am not
sure that is good enough for compiler development.
I understand this people...
1. It's Patrice not Patrick.
2. Patrice is not trying to create a compiler. His is looking for a BASIC solution to help his PowerBASIC friends out.
3. Patrice needs to find a graphics forum that speaks the same language as he does. All the cool stuff he does is over 90% of the users heads reading it.
4. If Patrice finds O2 or any other open source project interesting, he needs to learn how to be a team player.
