thinAir

Add

Debug options now available. A new button and menu is active in thinAir toolbar and menu or pressing F8 key.

This will allow script execution in the new tracing mode without the need to modify your script.

Debugging facility is new and will be improved in the next weeks but since now you can:

•	trace line by line Just press F8 key to step line by line

•	execute Just press F5 to execute your script till the next break point

•	set/remove break points Move the cursor on the line where your wnat set/remove a break point and press CTRL + F2

•	inspect variables value Type the name of one or more variable(s) in the right pane separated by any space, comma or CR/LF and you will see variables values at any execution step

More options and a better user interface will come very soon.

If exponentiation ^ is used in numeric expressions containing also multiplications or divisions result is nonsense.

Trace

New

Another brand new module allowing script tracing/debugging.

It is now possible to debug a thinBasic script just adding the following line into a script:

USES "TRACE"

If this line is present, Trace module will start and will interact with script execution allowing:

•	line by line execution

•	break point setup

•	variable inspection

Oxygen

New

A brand new module from Charles Pegge.

This module implements the possibility to generate and execute machine code on the fly coding directly a kind of macro assembler.

More info will come. For the moment see examples and module info in thinBasic community forum at:

http://community.thinbasic.com/index.php?topic=1637.0

A big plus of this module is that it comes with full FreeBasic source code. A great material for study. Thanks a lot Charles!

Source code is present in \thinBasic\SDK\ directory
