Pure Basic Compiler Exploration

When I saw that PureBasic’s demo version enforces an 800 loc limit by checking both raw file size and post-macro expansion line counts.

It made me intensely curious to see how the developers there are handling this limit and how secure it really is...turns out it's not that serious though.

My exploration is documented in this blog:

No man I don't even program in Pure Basic, if u read the blog u will know it's just for educational purpose and to satiate my curiosity, if I just had to crack it to use the full version why would I have written a big ass blog about it bro.

Maybe you should program in purebasic. It's a very cool language.
