Hi Pelle,

No worries. Take your time. Thanks for your efforts, it's a huge job to maintain all the toolset.

The .echo directive display expression(s). Since the internal expression format is totally different in this version, the output is expected (in general) to be a bit different from before.
I'm not convinced this is a bug, but I need some more time to look at it...

Confirmed:
C:\PellesC\Include\Win\winbase.h(23): fatal error #1035: Can't find #include file <fileapifromapp.h>.

"...so you wanted <fileapifromapp.h> to be included in the Setup? Why didn't you say so...?"

Now in Release Candidate #2 (from the same place) ...

Very happy to learn that you're alive and (presumably) well and still interested in this project that you started 20+ years ago.
Our cohort grows smaller each year but our friends have come to rely on us being there for them.

Cool, thanks.
My interest has certainly gone down a bit in recent years. I wanted to finish the C23 version, since I hate leaving projects unfinished, but it's hard to be interested in "C2Y" (the next C standard). We don't even have much of "Wintel" anymore, so I'm not sure where to focus now...

Thanks

Thank you.

What features we should to test first ?

Well... apparently the Windows API include files! They are all new...
Otherwise I don't really know. Rebuilding all tools with the most recent tools tend to reveal all major/obvious bugs. It's the lesser used features that needs testing, I guess...

Hi Pelle,

Testing Poasm V13 with the source files in the attachment, I receive the following error messages :

Hi Pelle,

Testing Poasm Version 13.00.0 :

Code Select Expand

.386
.model flat,stdcall
option casemap:none

ExitProcess PROTO :DWORD
printf PROTO C :DWORD,:VARARG

includelib  \PellesC\lib\Win\kernel32.lib
includelib  msvcrt.lib

level=1

@CatStr(Sample,level) CATSTR test,level

.echo @CatStr(Sample,level)

.echo Sample1

.data

string db 'Hello world!'

 
.code

start:

    invoke  ExitProcess,0

END start

The output of the .echo statements :

Code Select Expand

<Sample1>
<test1>
Preserving the symbols < and > like in the original code :

Code Select Expand

.
.
level=1

@CatStr(<Sample>,level) CATSTR <test>,level

.echo @CatStr(<Sample>,level)

.echo Sample1
.
.
The output :

Code Select Expand

<Sample1>
<test1>
The issue is solved here but assembler should not insert the symbols < and >

The correct reading should be :

Code Select Expand

Sample1
test1

Feature requests / Help file suggestion

Last post by Quin - Yesterday at 05:34:11 PM

Hi,
Would it be possible to turn the ANSI/ASCII tables in the CHM help file into actual proper HTML tables? i.e. <table>...</table>. Currently with the way they're laid out, they're out-of-order and it's nearly impossible for a screen reader user like myself to utilize them.
Also, I found a tiny typo in the help, I think it's probably just worth putting it here: In the PoFMT command line options, there's an extra r before the description of /o:

/O
rSpecifies the name of the output file.

Thanks!
