Beginner questions / Re: same code pelles c and gcc...

Last post by John Z - March 18, 2026, 03:44:17 PM

If (and a big if) I understand it, it appears the issue is the 'direction' of the counting

short int example

gcc and ChatGPT
a1 one:14  a1 zero:1
00000000 00000100 count left to right == 14 for 1st 1
00000000 00000100 count right to left ==  1 for 1st 0

Pelle version
a1 one:3  a1 zero:16
00000000 00000100 count right to left ==  3 for ist 1
00000000 00000100 count left to right == 16 for 1st 0

I didn't know the answer to this question. I asked ChatGPT.

ChatGPT:

Assuming the usual widths on a typical modern desktop/compiler:

unsigned short = 16 bits

unsigned int = 32 bits

stdc_first_leading_one(x) returns the 1-based position of the first 1 when scanning from the most-significant bit (MSB).
stdc_first_leading_zero(x) returns the 1-based position of the first 0 when scanning from the MSB.

For 4, the bit pattern is ...00000100 (only bit 2 set, counting from LSB starting at 0):

First leading one is at position width - 2

First leading zero is at position 1 (because the MSB is 0 for the value 4)

So the output will be:

a1 one:14  a1 zero:1
a2 one:30  a2 zero:1

Explanation:

a1 (16-bit): 16 - 2 = 14

a2 (32-bit): 32 - 2 = 30

If you run this on a platform where unsigned int is not 32-bit (or unsigned short not 16-bit), the one: numbers will change accordingly, but the zero: values will still be 1 for 4 (since the MSB is still 0).

Hi PaoloC13,

Might need a few more details.  Can you zip the project and post it?

I have created a project with a manifest resource without any problem using v13.

I think processors dating back to 2012\2013 are supporting the movbe instruction.

Tested on Window 7 Pro, DELL 64 bit (still get security updates)

Install seemed ok, however poide would not start even enough to show a window.
Didn't see it running in the background either.
poview worked.

DEL optiplex 780 Intel Core Duo E8400 release date 2008

Update: Tested on Win 11 Home 24H2 HP, was successful, installed and built vcardz_i program fine.

Hopefully users test new version and don't wait release version.
I try to test Windows 7 with new version, but every PC's CPUs are problem.
Windows 10 and 11 test PCs should not having any problems.
Pelles C support testing other versions with -x -xml poide commandline options.

Yes, main.c is in a different directory. I have a reason for it. It is just not a great reason. LOL.

Got it - a 'works for me situation'  Hierarchical and more structured.

Thanks,
