[Gambas-devel] ideas for two new string functions

[Benoît Minisini]

In revision #3318, you now have a function named Mem$() that returns a string 
representation of a value.

For example:

Mem$(10) will return the 4 characters string "\x0A\x00\x00\x00".

Mem$(Pi) will return the 8 characters string representing the Pi number as it 
is stored in memory.

And so on...

To do the contrary, you now must use the Int@(), Float@()... functions that 
read a value directly into memory.

For example:

Dim sStr As String
sStr = Mem$(Pi)
Print Float@(VarPtr(sStr))

--> 3.14159265...
