visibility of variables

[Charles Pegge]

I think I need to be able to allocate memory and to assign a pointer to it, i.e., dynamic arrays.

This is one way of creating a dynamic array in Oxygen:

Supposing you wanted to create a dynamic array of vectors:

type vector single x,y,z


dim as vector byref v


@v=getmemory 1000*sizeof vector


v[100]<=10,11,12, 20,21,22


print v[101].y 'displays 21


freememory @v

It is possible to overlay an array onto any memory space, but you have to take care of bounds checking. Oxygen's arrays are primeval
