Compiling the code with the maximize speed option :

Code Select

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    int i=1, sum=0;
    while (i<=100)
    {
        //printf("i=%d\n",i);
        sum=sum+i;
        i++;
    }
    printf("i=%d\n",i);
    printf("sum=%d\n",sum);
    return 0;
}

The first printf call should take a second parameter, edx pointint the value of i. Since this statement is missing, printf will print the random value stored by the register edx.

Hi italofutura,

Timo's suggestion is nice, Pelles C can work like a portable application. Do you have any chances to move temporarily your account to the Administrators group?

You could be right, seems like it. Did you check windows settings, personalization, fonts ..... that would be definitive if it is not showing there.

You might try Microsoft Store and see if the font is available to be installed.

Hi ander_cc,

A good lesson there similar to a lawyers credo "In Court don't ask a question if you don't already know the answer" the corollary to teaching, esp programing, is "In classroom don't use an example you haven't tested"

(half kidding you, no offense meant)

But seriously yes there have been, and are issues, with using the optimizations and extensive testing is always needed for these. I have many programs using optimizations successfully.

Perhaps Pelle can find the cause of this short program, meanwhile

Your program can use optimizations by using this 'fix':

volatile int i=1;

which, as I understand it inhibits the optimizer from making assumptions about i.

John Z

As an aside I would recommend not using any optimizations for teaching. Optimizing should be performed by the students learning programing.

Cheers,

Today, I showed a sample code about while statement to my students. But got a error result.

I think it might be a bug related to optimization. Because when I close optimization, I can get the right value.

On my system the Cascadia fonts are there. See attachment.
Windows 11 Home 25H2, so seems they 'should' be there on Pro . . . it is not a Pelles IDE issue I think...

Try going to windows settings, personalization, fonts, then see what is there.

John Z

P.S. The title on the resource 9 file also shows 13 I believe

I also try it in my laptop, it is Win11 Home 25h2, and a Win10 pc, but miss some fonts too. Maybe this issue is only related to the Windows Chinese Edition.
