How to create a Desktop Front End for a CLI tool on RISC OS using Acorn FrontEnd Module
#risc_os #arm #frontend #c99 #programming #tutorial
In this video Sprow shows us how to use the original Acorn FrontEnd Module to create a Desktop shell for a CLI tool. This approach can be very useful when we do not want to write a full desktop application.

Debugging CFront C++ on RISC OS with Acorn / ROOL DDE DDT
#cpp #cfront #tutorial #debugging #arm #risc_os #programming #retrocoding #debugger #debug
In this In-Depth video, Paolo Fabio Zaino shows us how to debug the old CFront C++ code on RISC OS using DDE DDT Debugger. Please note this video is not about learning how to code in C++, it focuses only on the distinctive elements related to RISC OS.
This video is on the special In-Depth format, which means the video is a full 1 hour long "mini-course" that will give all the info needed to learn the techniques described.

C++ used in this video it's a very old one, predates CFront 3.1 which itself predates C++98! In particoular, CFront for RISC OS also doesn't have all the original CFront libraries, so, in this video you'll see references on using malloc/realloc for strings etc. which are C references and that is because DDE C++ doesn't have C++ Strings library.

Chapters:
0:00 - Intro
0:38 - News
1:07 - Why DDT couldn't debug previous video's code correctly?
4:48 - What can we do to make C++ sources DDT friendly?
11:25 - New code example to help debugging private member's variables
24:07 - DDT in action, debugging private member's variables
35:22 - How strings are stored in memory on ARM32 architecture and RISC OS
49:47 - How realloc works
55:47 - Outro

Creating an Image Info tool in C using DDE C99 on RISC OS
#risc_os #programming #tutorial #c99
In this video Robert Sprowson shows us how to write a simple tool to extract info from different images (and image file formats) using ANSI C99 on RISC OS with Acorn/ROOL DDE Suite. Code is demonstrated on RISC OS 5, but it works on all RISC OS Releases.

Quick introduction to Coding on RISC OS
In this brief introduction we'll see some of the differences of coding on RISC OS compared to coding on other Operating Systems.
Please note: the info shared on this presentation should be considered as a minimal set of details to keep in mind when starting to code on RISC OS. The presentation is not omnicomprehensive of all the details, techniques and facilities offered by RISC OS, it's more intended as a quick start for users that are new to write programs on the platform.
This video refers to concept of System calls, here ther eis a blgo article with all possible detail you may need if you are not familiar with the concept of SysCalls: Click here for link
