Thanks Maurizio.

Yes, programming isn’t an exact science. And infact aMaxStrLen can be written in different ways… it would be nice to list some of them and analyze which is the best for speed and/or readability…

I will comment on my version of the code in a dedicated post.

Hi Francesco,
really an interesting and well done blog. A clear and comprehensive path to obtain an effective port.

About your csrput() ported version I think that:
1. the SAY “” is unnecessary and you can omit it at all;
2. the @ y,x is always pre-processed to SetPos( y, x );
3. the original FuncKy function returns NIL.
So, I suggest this code:

FUNCTION csrput( y, x )
   SetPos( y, x )
   return nil

In addition, here is my ancient version of aMaxStrLen(), just to show that programming isn’t an exact science:

FUNCTION aMaxStrLen( aArr )

   LOCAL nMaxLen := 0

   AEval( aArr, { | e | nMaxLen := Max( nMaxLen, IIf( HB_IsString( e ), Len( e ), 0 ) ) } )
   RETURN nMaxLen

Waiting for the next post.
Thanks a lot.
Maurizio

Hi Maurizio,
which kind of problems do you have ?

Please note that a couple of days ago there was a commit in hbQt that may have changed something but not in building Harbour….

Thanks. currently I am working on a program that works fine in clipper (10 months of use) and I am trying to add GUI using Minigui.
When I have finished I will try and create a marriage of my clipper program with QT
