It seems that PB destroys the ecx register if you compile with /THREAD (aka: Create threadsafe executable) Now i wonder if PB also destroys other registers besides eax (automatic variable initialization) at the start. Example: CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_Thread = 0 Debug "You must compile with /THR...

Asmlib is a function library to call from C or C++ and now PB for all x86 and x86-64 platforms. It is not intended to be a complete function library, but contains mainly: • Faster versions of several standard C functions • Useful functions that are difficult to find elsewhere • Functions that are b...

There's quite a few C/C++ libraries that use unsigned long/int, using those libs in PB could cause unforeseen results.

+1 would also be great if PB added __thiscall calling convention, making it easier to interface with c++ code. Shouldn't be too hard to add it since it's the same has __stdcall + mov ecx, *this ProcedureThis ProcedureThisDLL PrototypeThis <- force & check for *this parameter CallThisFunction() C...

would be nice to have unsigned integers in pb. I agree. I requested about this, but there is no answer. :( :( http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?p=414638#p414638 http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=54966 If it's not added i may try to do a compiler hack and add it mys...

I have needed unsigned integers in 2 projects already.

nice work
It may come in handy in a near future.

I did not look at your approach yet. Do you also parse header files, or do you extract structures by hand?

I am using a mix of methods manually parse, regex replace, PB Header Converter and PB Interface Importer.

Edit: MODULEENTRY32 is not properly aligned in x64, changed example. MODULEENTRY32 is also correct here. It is your own "_BAD" structure that is not correct. Structure MODULEENTRY32_BAD ; <- default pb dwSize.l th32ModuleID.l th32ProcessID.l GlblcntUsage.l ProccntUsage.l *modBaseAddr modB...

Any chance a skilled c++ programmer could write a wrapper for this c++ dll? Even if it's just one function, to get me started? I could do it, but it's not easy cos you have to know the function calling convention, the vTable structure, etc... It would probably be something this: http://www.purebasi...

The point of my project is to provide an up-to-date and correct , windows sdk for PureBasic. This is the default PROCESSENTRY32 structure in PureBasic 5.11 beta 1 (x86), which has the wrong structure alignment.
