Project Progress and Learning / Re: 🚀 New Native Compiler Rele...
Last post by Theo Gottwald - July 30, 2026, 01:28:29 PMHas any body tested V15 vs. V14?
If so i would like to hear comments on if anything is missing that was there before.
Due to circumstances V15 is a new Fork from V7 not a update to V14 thats why.
Of course error reports are also welcome, yet as V16 is already in work it may be to late for many issues, namely INSTR .. ANY, UDT-REDIM, COM Issues and GUI Issues and some Container Issues.
The next Update V16 will not take as long as V15 did, which was effectively a new rebuild from V8-V15 build.
Check the new improved Preprocessor Options that go far beyond what Powerbasic had!
Also check our Collection of Datatypes that is unique in Compiler, i am quite sure no other compiler wherever can beat our Datatype collection.
Many UNx-cases are internally "handcoded ASM" so we should also have a good speed with "UNLimited Precision Calculations".
Also the FORTH Frontend is really good implemented, this enables you to make very short programs.
The SPR Frontend also, you can use it to load- or SAVE a File with just one Mnemonic.
Sample:
!! VIP.(read help for syntax - get variable from BASIC into SPR.-Script)
' Will Save $$TXT into File $$FIL
!! CTF.$$FIL|$$TXT

Project Progress and Learning / 🚀 New Native Compiler Releases...
Last post by Theo Gottwald - July 29, 2026, 07:39:30 AM🚀 New Native Compiler Releases: PBXA64 Beta and PBXB64 V15
PowerBASIC development remains fast, compact, and close to Windows. PBXA64 and PBXB64 provide two modern compiler
⚡ PBXA64 V8 Beta
PBXA64 is the new compiler platform for modern PowerBASIC development on Windows.
✅ Produces native Win32 / PE32 and Win64 / PE32+ programs
✅ Shared pipeline for PowerBASIC, bounded C, and assembler
✅ Built-in COFF/PE linker, PDB debug information, resource and library processing
✅ Current CHM language reference with 784 topics
✅ Release template with compiler, help, includes, and samples
✅ New compiler binaries are automatically UPX-compressed
PBXA64 is a beta for technical users. Its tested language surface produces native Windows programs; incomplete
areas such as classic `ON ERROR` / `RESUME` handling are diagnosed clearly. Transparency instead of silent
miscompilation. 🛡
🧰 PBXB64 V15 RELEASE
PBXB64 V15 is a native Windows x64 multi-frontend compiler written entirely in C17. Ten languages share one
pipeline and produce native PE32+ programs:
PowerBASIC/BASIC, B64, C, ASM, COBOL, FORTH, Logo, PILOT, Rust, and SPR.
✅ 3,547 out of 3,547 release validation cases passed
✅ 10 language frontends in one native compiler pipeline
✅ Dedicated x64 code generator, assembler, COFF writer, and PE32+ linker
✅ Direct instruction selection, register allocation, and peephole optimization
✅ COFF objects, import tables, relocations, TLS, and exception-data handling
✅ 1,227 include files, including 34 C17 headers
✅ Current CHM help in English and German
✅ 100 curated sample programs
✅ REGEXPR 1.25 integrated into the native runtime
✅ Authenticode digital signature and published SHA-256 checksums
A key PBXB64 V15 feature is its language bridge: `BRIDGE EXPORT` and `BRIDGE IMPORT` allow frontends to share typed
global memory. PowerBASIC, C, Rust, ASM, FORTH, COBOL, SPR, and PILOT can work together in one native program, without
helper DLLs or serialization. 🔗
🎯 Two Compilers, Two Focuses
PBXA64 is the modern beta platform for PowerBASIC projects with both Win32 and Win64 output.
PBXB64 V15 is the signed x64 release for multi-language development: ten frontends, one pipeline, native PE32+
applications.
Both projects preserve what makes native BASIC development compelling: fast builds, compact executables, direct
control, and Windows development without unnecessary dependencies. ✨

Last post by Theo Gottwald - July 29, 2026, 07:38:32 AM🚀 Neue native Compiler-Releases: PBXA64 Beta und PBXB64 V15
PowerBASIC bleibt schnell, kompakt und nah an Windows. Mit PBXA64 und PBXB64 stehen zwei moderne Compiler-Linien
⚡ PBXA64 V8 Beta
PBXA64 ist die neue Compiler-Plattform für moderne PowerBASIC-Entwicklung unter Windows.
✅ Erzeugt native Win32 / PE32- und Win64 / PE32+-Programme
✅ Gemeinsame Pipeline für PowerBASIC, begrenztes C und Assembler
✅ Eigener COFF-/PE-Linker, PDB-Debug-Informationen sowie Resource- und Library-Verarbeitung
✅ Aktuelle CHM-Sprachreferenz mit 784 Themen
✅ Release-Template mit Compiler, Hilfe, Includes und Samples
✅ Neue Compiler-Binaries werden automatisch mit UPX komprimiert
PBXA64 ist eine Beta für technische Anwender. Der getestete Sprachumfang erzeugt native Windows-Programme; noch
nicht vollständige Bereiche wie klassische `ON ERROR`-/`RESUME`-Fehlerbehandlung werden klar diagnostiziert.
Transparenz statt stiller Fehlübersetzung. 🛡�
🧰 PBXB64 V15 RELEASE
PBXB64 V15 ist ein nativer Windows-x64-Multi-Frontend-Compiler in reinem C17. Zehn Sprachen nutzen eine
gemeinsame Pipeline und erzeugen native PE32+-Programme:
PowerBASIC/BASIC, B64, C, ASM, COBOL, FORTH, Logo, PILOT, Rust und SPR.
✅ 3.547 von 3.547 Release-Validierungsfällen bestanden
✅ 10 Sprach-Frontends in einer gemeinsamen nativen Compiler-Pipeline
✅ Eigener x64-Codegenerator, Assembler, COFF-Writer und PE32+-Linker
✅ Direkte Befehlsauswahl, Registerzuweisung und Peephole-Optimierung
✅ Verarbeitung von COFF-Objekten, Importtabellen, Relokationen, TLS- und Ausnahmedaten
✅ 1.227 Include-Dateien, darunter 34 C17-Header
✅ Aktuelle CHM-Hilfe auf Deutsch und Englisch
✅ 100 kuratierte Beispielprogramme
✅ REGEXPR 1.25 in der nativen Laufzeit
✅ Digitale Authenticode-Signatur und veröffentlichte SHA-256-Prüfsummen
Ein besonderes Merkmal von PBXB64 V15 ist die Sprachbrücke: Mit `BRIDGE EXPORT` und `BRIDGE IMPORT` können Frontends
typisierten globalen Speicher gemeinsam verwenden. PowerBASIC, C, Rust, ASM, FORTH, COBOL, SPR und PILOT arbeiten
dadurch in einem nativen Programm zusammen, ohne Hilfs-DLL und ohne Serialisierung. 🔗
🎯 Zwei Compiler, zwei Schwerpunkte
PBXA64 ist die moderne Beta-Plattform für PowerBASIC-Projekte mit Win32- und Win64-Ausgabe.
PBXB64 V15 ist das signierte x64-Release für Multi-Language-Entwicklung: zehn Frontends, eine Pipeline, native
PE32+-Programme.
Beide Projekte stehen für das, was native BASIC-Entwicklung weiterhin attraktiv macht: schnelle Builds, kleine
Executables, direkte Kontrolle und Windows ohne unnötige Abhängigkeiten. ✨

Last post by Theo Gottwald - July 28, 2026, 10:06:21 PMHere you can see the final stages of work at PBXB64 which will be released next days.
Together with PBXA64 - that is released already. Its a x32 + x64 Compiler in one (like Jürgens?).
And i am adding the Alpha-Editor PBX-Editor to the Package.
I will post here when its up.
