    TOMDK - creating TB modules with Oxygen

    Creating thinBasic Oxygen Modules:

    TOMDK is a single script which can be used as a basis for creating DLLs for thinBasic. The zip file below is the first release. You can adapt the TOM script to build your own modules. No other software is required to generate the DLL, and you can see all the nuts and bolts involved in building a DLL from scratch.

    Once again I had to make some adjustments to Oxygen. But no new commands.

    ;D

    I have no words ... thinBasic module compiling thinBasic module ...
    And with those clean macros it is very easy to understand.

    Charles with all that you are doing and with possibly what new PowerBasic brings, I am at a loss to categorize what can and will be possible with thinBasic. Your module is breaking all the rules for scripting languages and what can be done with them. I can't comment more as out of my league, but am watching in admiration that is for sure!

    Well thank you Petr. It was quite hard work putting it together as the information available is rather limited. I've used a macro to place the Export code, out of sequence at the top of the file. The rest can be left unaltered in most instances.

    Larger modules will require an extended imports section but only in the virtual image.
    If you see [esi+3600] in the listing then its time to add another 4096 bytes but I can automate this in future versions.

    Hi Kent,
    As long as the language is Turing-complete it can be used to generate another language of any complexity. It is certainly possible to build a compiler in pure thinBASIC though it might perform at a leisurely pace. My first attempt at a a compiler many years ago, for an 8088 based computer board I designed. It was written with mBasic, the standard Microsoft interpreter. (Later we compiled it with BASCOM). It was adequate for testing the board, and establishing basic communications.

    With Oxygen, I've been pushing the boundaries - but neglected the basics which are at least as important. So I will try to remedy this by posting some short pieces which are relatively easy to follow. These will form part of the h2o kernel.

    It is definately possible to write a compiler in thinbasic. With and without the help of Charles great modules.

    Compiler in thinBasic ;D

    This will convert simple expressions like
    a + b * c - d
    into assembly code taking account of operator precedence.
    (converted from PB)
