Bug reports / Re: Some fonts are missing fro...

Quote from: Pelle on Yesterday at 03:05:19 PMMaybe. I need to check things more - this part of the IDE hasn't changed for 10+ years, so...

I'm confused - If it is an IDE issue then why using the same IDE do I see the fonts?
Attached screen shot -

First thing to do is check check windows settings, personalization, fonts to see if it is there. It is possible and likely that putting it into the manifest it appears to work because windows will find the closest match to a font if that font is missing, as I recall. And verified with a web search

"Yes, Windows automatically substitutes a missing font with a default font (usually Microsoft Sans Serif or Arial) when it encounters a document or application requiring a font not installed on the system. This process ensures text remains visible, though it may change the document's formatting, layout, and appearance.
Key details on Windows font substitution:

Automatic Process: When a specified font is unavailable, Windows attempts to map the missing font to an available one based on internal registry settings."

Thank you for the info!

I think you filter the fonts with "GB2312_CHARSET" ? Maybe add "ANSI_CHARSET" could fix it.

Maybe. I need to check things more - this part of the IDE hasn't changed for 10+ years, so...

Expert questions / Re: Link error with minhook

Last post by ander_cc - Yesterday at 12:37:06 PM

You can compile it to static lib with pelles c. but do not add MinHook.def and MinHook.rc to project.
I try it and it works.

If you add MinHook.rc file can get follow error. I donot know why.
*** Error: "D:\minihook\dll_resources\MinHook.rc" -Fo"D:\minihook\output\MinHook.res"

The code below compiled as 32-bit application works fine :

Code Select

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    int i;
    int s=0;
    for (i=1;i<11;)
    {
		s=s+i;
		__asm inc i;
    }
    printf("i=%d , sum = %d\n",i,s);
    return 0;
}

Code Select

i=11 , sum = 55

Hi John Z, have a fun with Clang with limits with optimizations.
Optimizations for static code isn't so important and you know reasons for that.

Many variations can complicate the use of i enough that the optimizer does not affect i.

Both of these variations within the loop also 'work' to inhibit the optimization -
s = s + (i*i)/i;
and
s = s + ((i << 1) >> 1);

We can probably find more too, but I'm fairly sure this is not helping -

Code Select

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    int i = 1;
    int s = 0;

    do {
        //s = s + (i*i)/i;         // works
          s = s + ((i << 1) >> 1); // works
        i++;    
    } while (i <= 10);
    printf("i = %d\n", i);
    printf("Sum = %d\n", s);
    return 0;
}

Another 'working' version

Code Select

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    int i = 0;
    int s = 0;

    do { 
	 ++i;
	 s = s + i;
       } while (i <= 9);
    printf("i = %d\n", i);
    printf("Sum = %d\n", s);
    return 0;
}

I was too fast, same issue :

Code Select

_text   SEGMENT PARA 'CODE'

main    PROC
        sub     rsp, 40
        lea     rcx, [@154]
        call    printf     
        lea     rcx, [@156]
        mov     edx, 55    
        call    printf     
        xor     eax, eax   
        add     rsp, 40    
        ret                
main    ENDP

_text   ENDS

.rdata  SEGMENT PARA 'CONST'                           

@156    label byte
        db 53H, 75H, 6DH, 20H, 3DH, 20H, 25H, 64H       ; 0000 _ Sum = %d
        db 0AH, 00H                                   

@154    label byte
        db 69H, 20H, 3DH, 20H, 25H, 64H, 0AH, 00H       ; 000A _ i = %d..

.rdata  ENDS

Again, this line is fixing the issue :

Code Select

for (i=1;i<11;i=i-(-1))

Quote from: Pelle on April 18, 2026, 05:58:35 PMI am deliberately filtering the fonts list. At least last time I checked, several years ago, not doing this filtering gave me many fonts I couldn't use.
I will have to think about this (when I can find the time)...

I check the output of your code paste below.
I think you filter the fonts with "GB2312_CHARSET" ? Maybe add "ANSI_CHARSET" could fix it.
