Array as subroutine's parameter

[k7]

Elo. What is the correct way to declare an array in a subroutine's parameters in FB? Is it possible to define the dimensions and size of the array when declaring it, as I can't find any help on this in the documentation. Currently I am using one like this:

Code: Select all

sub drawimage (img_to_load())
    size = ubound (img_to_load, 1)
    ...
end sub

I use UBOUND to determine the size of the passed array. A specific size for the parameter array isn't relevant to my current project, but is it possible to declare one?

I'm not sure if FB can do that, you should post on the FB forums at http://www.freebasic.net/forum/index.php

You could just DIM SHARED the array so that it is accessable in all the subs.

Idk about free basic but you can do it in old Qbasic like so:

Code: Select all

'main
CLS

DIM the(0 TO 60) AS INTEGER

FOR i% = 0 TO 60 'just filling the array...
  the(i%) = 5
NEXT i%

CALL test(the())

END

'sub
SUB test (thePassed%())

FOR i% = 0 TO 60            'dumping to screen to verify it worked.
  PRINT thePassed%(i%)
NEXT i%

END SUB

Hope this helps...
