Dav IDE

[Dav]

Hi @RNBW.  Good news.  I was able to duplicate the error and correct it. 

Actually the compiles do go through, but the compiled files are called '_avsIDE-TEMPFILE.exe'.  This was odd because that is not the full name of the temp EXE file QB64 should be making.   DavsIDE creates several temp files that look something like this '_$DavsIDE-TEMPFILE....', all leading with "_$".  Apparently the newer QB64 versions didn't like the _$ I used in my temp file names.  I removed all instances of $ in the temp file names and everything seems to be working correctly again.

I will get up a new version ready for you to use.  An update is looooong overue.

Thanks for letting me know about this.

EDIT:  Yes, it's the $ in any filename, not just with my IDE.  The QB64 compiler doesn't like filenames with $ in them.  Save a file called $test.bas and load it in the QB64 IDE, compiler error occurs.

Hi @Dav
Great to hear that you have found a solution.  Look forward to your update.

It will be a maintenance update mainly to fix a couple serious compiling bugs - the one you found and another one someone else found.  I may put in a couple extra features, code beautifier, etc, the experimental and buggy auto-indent feature that I was working on earlier, etc.  I also need to add about 30 new QB64 commands that the current IDE doesn't recognize.

So that puts the nail in the coffin.  Your IDE (and QB64) will never be used by any government agency.  It's all about the $'s with them.  Collecting $'s and spending $'s.
