Chit-Chat / Re: WinDirStat

Yes it is very handy. I have used the portable version for many years.
https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/windirstat_portable

Also a good site, and as the name implies portableapps can be installed on a USB and run leaving no traces, or very minimal, on the system.

However the most used tool now is SwiftSearch - the speed this has searching a NTFS formatted drive is just astounding.  Open source too.

Jerry,

If you are using the IDE check the box in the picture.  This will add /Go to the compile
flags (CFLAGS).

Thank you, John and TimoVJL! The problem is solved!

Here is the 64-bit version :

Code Select Expand

include DlgBox.inc

.data

Dlgbox db 'MyDlg',0

.code

start PROC PARMAREA=5*SIZEOF QWORD

LOCAL hModule:QWORD

    mov     rax,RichEditANSIWndProc
    invoke  GetModuleHandle,0
    mov     hModule,rax
    invoke  DialogBoxParam,hModule,ADDR Dlgbox,0,ADDR DlgProc,0
    invoke  ExitProcess,rax

start ENDP

DlgProc PROC hWnd:QWORD,uMsg:QWORD,wParam:QWORD,lParam:QWORD PARMAREA=4*SIZEOF QWORD

    .IF uMsg==WM_CLOSE

        invoke  EndDialog,hWnd,0

    .ELSE

        xor    rax,rax
        ret

Not a bug.
Don't add that code example.

Just add -Go to pocc commandline, if you don't use poide or add in poide compiler options Define compatbility names

/Go Accepts 'old' names for C runtime functions.

Code Select Expand

#ifndef _SSIZE_T_DEFINED
#define _SSIZE_T_DEFINED
typedef __SSIZE_TYPE__ _ssize_t;
#ifdef __POCC__OLDNAMES
typedef __SSIZE_TYPE__ ssize_t;
#endif /* __POCC__OLDNAMES */
#endif /* SSIZE_T_DEFINED */


Thank you for the suggestion. But the problem persists even after adding the lines to my code.
I think this might be a bug with Pelles C (current version 13.00), as other compilers work fine with my code.
