| This tutorial attempts to show the basics of working with C in your BlitzMax programs. BlitzMax manual/help has a section titled “Interfacing with C and other languages”, but I find it short and confusing. HTML PDF (142KB) Sample sources (.zip 3KB) Please let me know of any errors or if I missed something important. |

| I've always wondered how to do this. Very useful. Thanks! |
| ||
| Thanks! This will come in handy :) |
| ||
| This is pretty cool, and good to know. Might have to experiment with osx screensavers again :-) |
| ||
| What about more complex Max objects? (Types that have Methods, Functions and many different types of Fields) EDIT: Or, I guess more importantly, what about programmer-defined objects from C to Max? |

| What about more complex Max objects? (Types that have Methods, Functions and many different types of Fields) Fields can be accessed in (their source code) order, no matter how many there are. With respect to Functions, Types are just namespaces; TType.Func could be accessed using _bb_TType_Func from C. I don't know about Methods - that could be complicated due to inheritance etc. EDIT: Or, I guess more importantly, what about programmer-defined objects from C to Max? If you mean objects of C++ classes, I don't use C++, but you might want to see this tutorial by skidracer: Importing C++ / STL tutorial. If you mean C structs - they are just a way of describing what a block of memory means. A pointer to a structure is still a pointer to raw memory. Hmm... I think I'll write at least one more part on objects and look into methods. |

| Yeah, I meant to say C/C++ classes to Max Types. I'd never seen skidracer's tutorial, will study.. |
| ||
| Thank you very much ! This is a well appreciated documentation :) Finally I will be able to use some of the C specificities. YEAH ! |
| ||
| Jans web page seems down for me? |
| ||
| Same here: both. |
| ||
| Still down :/ |
| ||
| I used to have a copy of the PDF file on an old pc, unfortunately I cant find it at the moment, if anyone else has it and is willing to send, seeing as Otus' site is down, I can host it if needed. |
| ||
| Mirrored it here http://www.blitzmax.com/logs/userlog.php?user=8652&log=1737 I don't have the html version because that was the webpage. |
| ||
| Sorry, the site was down due to host issues, but should be up now. It would be nice to get notifications for replies on these threads.. Also, I've been doing quite a lot of C+Blitz programming lately, so I'll probably update the tutorial soon enough... |
| ||
| > so I'll probably update the tutorial soon enough... Just as encouragement, I'd definitely find an updated tutorial very helpful! |
| ||
| Thanks for the tutorials, well done, and quite interesting :) Keep on the good work, Sergio. |

| I know it's an old thread, but still: thanks! Really helpful. |
