Nice addition to the toolbox of Pelles C coders, thanks.

User contributions / SMBIOS info
Last post by Pelle - June 18, 2026, 10:21:11 PMNothing fancy, just a program I wrote last year to dump info about my BIOS settings (to the console).
Incomplete in many ways. Maybe useful to someone...?

Assembly discussions / Re: Combining object files
Last post by Pelle - June 18, 2026, 08:37:54 PMOK. I still don't see the point in having a tool that combines object files, but never mind. Not important.

Assembly discussions / Re: Combining object files
Last post by Vortex - June 14, 2026, 09:43:31 PMHi Pelle,
The purpose of merging object modules is to provide only one monolytic object file to the linker. Nothing fancy. As you said, it's preferable to create a static library.

Assembly discussions / Re: Combining object files
Last post by Pelle - June 14, 2026, 09:31:20 PMbut... when is this useful??
I can only think of two things to do with an object file:
1) pass it to the linker
2) put in in a library/archive, and pass that to the linker
I mean, normally you have the source code, and anything of importance that needs to change in the object file is better handled by editing the source code and rebuild.
If you don't have the source code, well... disregarding any legal issues, if you don't known exactly what you are doing, random changes will probably cause more harm than good (and don't expect tools at this level to warn you much).

Last post by Pelle - June 14, 2026, 09:13:32 PMThomas, I have already spent a fair amount of time investigating this problem. I'm still looking for a proper solution. This is going to take some time...

Add-ins / Batch Builder
Last post by John Z - June 14, 2026, 02:49:41 AMAdd-In BBBBuilderPS.dll version 1.0 06/09/2026
The BBBBuilder.dll will create either a .bat file that when run from the command line will build the program that was open at the time BBBBuilder was invoked or a PowerShell .ps1 file which will do the same.
Essentially BBBBuilderPS creates a .bat or .ps1 file to perform a build similar to what cc does, but maybe easier . . .
Once built the batch file can be run at any time without using the IDE.
Source files can be added, removed or modified in the file lists, and then rebuild the program using the batch file.
It is a menu item BBBBuilder PS, under Project, below Workspace, and it is also a button on the toolbar (hammer & nail)
More information in the readme.txt file included with the sources -

Big Beautiful Batch Builder - one more B than Pres. Trump used
Note: This add-in is unrelated to the recently discovered cc issue, and was started long before it.
