New Firebird interface (cloop) – Cross Language Object Oriented Programming
Adriano wrote on Firebird-devel and twitter :
I put in my github account the first version of cloop – Cross Language
Object Oriented Programming.
– https://github.com/asfernandes/cloop
This first version is limited to void and int datatypes, supports C, C++
and Free Pascal, and the makefile works only in POSIX.
Some files in src/tests/test1 are autogenerated. They are flag as this
in their first line.
Tests consists of three (one for each language) executable and three
libraries as well.
The executable is the consumer test part and receives a parameter with
the library name of the supplier test part, so we can test any
combination of C/C++/Pascal as consumer/supplier. Examples:
./output/debug/bin/test1-pascal output/debug/bin/test1-pascal.so
./output/debug/bin/test1-c output/debug/bin/test1-pascal.so
./output/debug/bin/test1-cpp output/debug/bin/test1-pascal.so
./output/debug/bin/test1-cpp output/debug/bin/test1-c.so

Mini-interview about Firebird Conference 2014 with Mark Rotteveel
Today’s guest is Mark Rotteveel, developer of JayBird, Firebird JDBC driver, and speaker at Firebird Conference 2014.
Q/A : Why does Firebird truncate decimal places when dividing?
Firebird truncates decimal places when dividing, rather than rounding. Furthermore, it bases the number of decimal points in the returned value on the number of decimal places in the numerator and denominator.
Why is Firebird truncating instead of rounding? And why does it base the returned value on the number of decimal places in the query?
Here is the answer to the Question on StackOverflow
