Code:
[indent=2]


def getTime() : string
             
  return GLib.Time.local(time_t ()).to_string()

init
     
   //-- display the current time --   

   print ("%s" , getTime())
   
   
   
   //-- run a timer to check how long a code needs --
   timer : Timer = new Timer()
   timer.start()
   
   for var n = 0 to 10000
     print ("%d" , n)
     
   timer.stop()

   print ("%f seconds were needed." , timer.elapsed() )

Vala should support multithreaded programming, but you must explicitly create such threads.
The above example does not use threads, just a "for" loop, to print some values.
The timer checks, how long it takes to print them.

And now eat some fish *mjam Smile

try:
gdb ./timer

This starts the debugger. There type:

run

When it crashes, type:
backtrace

This should show some strange looking functions.
Please copy & paste them here.

Then type to exit the debugger:
quit

Was gooood, although it was from the supermarket.

hm, I have no strcmp () in my C code.
Please run:
valac -C timer.gs

Then paste here timer.c.

for me the example works in Puppy 4.12.
I attach the project.
Extract it in the project folder, and open it in the Valaide.

Or compile main.gs by hand:
valac main.gs
./main

Maybe you added something, or there was an error caused by copy&paste from your webbrowser.
I had encountered this in the past, maybe webbrowsers add different linefeeds or whatever.

I use
gtksourceview-2.4.2.pet
valide-0.4-1-i686-svn-2009-03-27.pet
I run the vala-IDE by typing "validestart", or from the menu: "Valide -Puppy4"

looks different then mine, though there is no strcmp.

do you use vala 0.5.7?
Please try, if my project from my former message works.

Code:

#include "main.h"
#include <time.h>




static char* g_time_to_string (struct tm *self);



static char* g_time_to_string (struct tm *self) {
   return g_strdup_printf ("%04d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d", (*self).tm_year + 1900, (*self).tm_mon + 1, (*self).tm_mday, (*self).tm_hour, (*self).tm_min, (*self).tm_sec);
}


char* getTime (void) {
   struct tm _tmp3 = {0};
   time_t _tmp2 = {0};
   time_t _tmp0 = {0};
   struct tm _tmp1 = {0};
   return g_time_to_string ((_tmp3 = (localtime_r ((_tmp2 = (time (&_tmp0), _tmp0), &_tmp2), &_tmp1), _tmp1), &_tmp3));
}


void _main (char** args, int args_length1) {
   char* _tmp0;
   GTimer* timer;
   /*-- display the current time --    */
   _tmp0 = NULL;
   g_print ("%s\n", _tmp0 = getTime ());
   _tmp0 = (g_free (_tmp0), NULL);
   /*-- run a timer to check how long a code needs -- */
   timer = g_timer_new ();
   g_timer_start (timer);
   {
      gint n;
      n = 0;
      for (; n <= 10000; n++) {
         g_print ("%d\n", n);
      }
   }
   g_timer_stop (timer);
   g_print ("%f seconds were needed.\n", g_timer_elapsed (timer, NULL));
   (timer == NULL) ? NULL : (timer = (g_timer_destroy (timer), NULL));
}


int main (int argc, char ** argv) {
   g_type_init ();
   _main (argv, argc);
   return 0;
}

I use vala 0.5.1
0.5.7 had a major bug in it meaning that simple samples were not running
Barry reported it to the developers

OK gonna try 0.5.7 again . . .
For now I am not going to use valide . . .

this code which was working is no longer compiling with the newer vala Crying or Very sad
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=286981#286981

Code:
# valac v14.gs
v14.gs:22.7-22.9: error: syntax error, expected end of line but got identifier with previous `else'
        else num = num + 96
             ^^^
v14.gs:51.7-51.11: error: syntax error, expected end of line but got `print' with previous `else'
        else print(USAGE)                                   /* this appears if program run without text */
             ^^^^^
Compilation failed: 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

the code after "else" must go to a new line.

Here is your updated code.
I also fixed two "print" statements to
print("%s" , thetext )

Mark

Code:
// Infinite Monkey Theorem
// Lobster and Shadow, March 2009 LGPL

// use from command line
// imt ["search text"]
// generates random characters and searches for a given pattern eg 'in the beginning was the world'
// warning strings longer than "in the" may take minutes or hours to find

// program demonstrates:
//   basic functions
//   passing parameters in command line
//   random character generation
//   constant
[indent=3]
def getRandomNumber(RangeFrom:int, RangeTo:int) : int  /* function to create random number between range */
   return GLib.Random.int_range(RangeFrom,RangeTo)

def getRandomChar() : char                             /* function to generate ascii codes from a-z and space (32) */
   num:int = getRandomNumber(0,27)
   if num == 0
      num = 32
   else
      num = num + 96
   return (char) num

def addRandomChar(myText:string) : string              /* function add text from command line */
   var retText = new StringBuilder
   retText.append(myText)
   retText.append_c(getRandomChar())
   return retText.str
       
init
   USAGE:string = "Usage:\n\t ./imt \"some text for monkeys to generate\" "
   theText:string = args[1]
   if theText == null
      theText = ""
   theText = theText.down()                            /* change any text input to lower case */   
   myText:string = ""

   if theText != ""
      do   
         do
            myText = addRandomChar(myText)
         while theText.len() != myText.len()
              print("%s" , myText)
         if theText != myText
            stdout.printf("\n")
            myText = ""
      while theText != myText
      stdout.printf("\n")

   else
      print("%s" , USAGE)                                   /* this appears if program run without text */

after trying to install the gedit editor - and giving up after finding one missing library and then failing to find the other Confused
I instead installed medit (in the v4 puppy package manager list)
or Aragon has compiled the latest version here
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=272389&search_id=1599208467#272389

that seems OK and supports Vala - I have written to the developer about Genie support

Barry mentions this on his genie page
Quote:
Limited editor/IDE support
That will improve pretty quickly I think. I whipped up basic color syntax highlighting for the Medit text editor


Has that been sent to the developers I wonder?

Very nice editor - immediately felt at home Cool

Still have not installed Valide (too dangerous)
but am keen to get GTK running


Code:
[indent=4]
/* GTK+ Genie Sample Code - compile with valac --pkg gtk+-2.0 hello-gtk.gs */
uses
    Gtk

init
    Gtk.init (ref args)
    var test = new TestWindow ()
    test.show_all ()
    Gtk.main ();

class TestWindow : Window
    init
        title = "Test Window"
        default_height = 250
        default_width = 250
        window_position = WindowPosition.CENTER
        destroy += Gtk.main_quit
        var button = new Button.with_label ("Click Me")
        button.clicked += def (btn)
            title = "Hello World"
            btn.label = "Hello World"
        add (button)


which is giving me this misinformation
probably nothing to do with Arthur Dent . . .

Code:
# valac v15_gtk_test.gs
v15_gtk_test.gs:22.15-22.14: error: syntax error, expected line end or semicolon but got `dedent'
                add (button)
                           
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Lobster,
Medit uses gtksourceview, but if I recall rightly it has it's own in-built gtksourceview.

The "proper" gtksourceview 2.4.2 pet pkg that I have provided has a file in it, 'genie.lang'. Um, let's see, it's at
/usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/

As Medit has it's own gtksourceview, you need to find where it keeps its .lang files, and copy 'genie.lang' in there, and then Medit should have genie syntax highlighting.
