Feature requests / Re: Enhanced editor suggestion

This is behavior of ECLIPSE IDE, it is a really useful feature! I like it very much.
Nevertheless it requires a grammar checking engine very powerful or the result could even be counterproductive.
And I imagine the POIDE isn't so strong.

Hi PhilG57,

I don't see this as a good fit with a text editor.  You'd have the editor constantly checking every key stroke to see if it was a #DEFINE xxxxx, #DEFINE a 1, #DEFINE macro, or an #undef yyyyy and so on then checking every file, or a list of #ifdef and others, to see if the define/undef was used somewhere then highlighting the use path, which might not be that simple with nested cases (as you mentioned).  It would need to not just check C source but all headers and all project ppj configs.  It would really bog down the editor with unrelated editing task.  Imagine constantly checking 45 source files plus headers...

Even if the editor were to build a list as text is entered of where checks are done like #ifdefs it would need to check the list constantly every time a #... was typed, and not just then as a previously #DEFINE xxxx might be changed at any edit time or somewhere else.  Then too if it old existing source code then no one is typing everything so some initialization would need to be done to develop the initial list.

So an Add-IN that can be called ad-hoc to process all the source files and headers seems more reasonable, even though it would be snapshot in time, it could be run as needed.

Add-ins can be written by the user community so you have a path to do it.  The editor is only updated by Pelle the developer.  I don't think he will will be interested, but just imo.

Might be possible with Add-In.
Hopefully someone understand a you ideas for it.

While that's an interesting idea, I guess it better to keep simple the project manager of Pelles C.

It would be nice, if when working on a "workspace" with multiple "projects", various options of the project (compiler level, flags, libraries, link options for libraries, etc.), could be inherited from the workspace.  Those project options inherited from the workspace would all be the same for each individual project, while projects needing unique options would specify those in the project's .ppj or whatever file. Thanks.

Feature requests / Re: RichEdit 4.1

Last post by TimoVJL - March 22, 2026, 12:13:21 PM

Apparently there are four versions of Rich Edit:
Version 1.0, Riched32.dll, class "RICHEDIT"
Version 2.0, Riched20.dll, class "RichEdit20A"/"RichEdit20W"
Version 3.0, Riched20.dll, class "RichEdit20A"/"RichEdit20W"
Version 4.1, Msftedit.dll, class "RICHEDIT50W"
Not sure who came up with this, but surely strong medication must have been involved...
The next version of the dialog editor will have four RichEdit controls (1, 2, 3, and 5).

Works in my tests in Windows 11 laptop.

Another example :

Code Select Expand

include SaveRegs.inc

SaveRegs MACRO

    mov     QWORD PTR [rbp],rcx
    mov     QWORD PTR [rbp+8],rdx
    mov     QWORD PTR [rbp+16],r8
    mov     QWORD PTR [rbp+24],r9

ENDM

.data

msg     db 'Hello!',0
msg2    db 'rcx,rdx,r8 and r9 are saved.',0
title   db 'MsgBox',0
title2  db 'Macro test',0

.code

start PROC PARMAREA=5*SIZEOF QWORD

;   Pass rsp to the procedure main

    invoke  main,ADDR msg2,ADDR title2,10,20,rsp

    invoke  ExitProcess,0

start ENDP


main PROC uses rbp r:QWORD,s:QWORD,t:QWORD,u:QWORD,_rsp:QWORD PARMAREA=4*SIZEOF QWORD

    mov     rbp,_rsp
    SaveRegs

    _r TEXTEQU <QWORD PTR [rbp]>
    _s TEXTEQU <QWORD PTR [rbp+8]>
    _t TEXTEQU <QWORD PTR [rbp+16]>
    _u TEXTEQU <QWORD PTR [rbp+24]>
   
    invoke  MessageBox,0,ADDR msg,ADDR title,0
   
;   The first call to MessageBox destroys rcx,rdx,r8 and r9

    invoke  MessageBox,0,_r,_s,0
   
    ret

main ENDP

END start

I am amazed that this works - Win 11 23H2 with such limited resources!

Perhaps capable to test Pelles C v14 too.
