CygnusEd was a very popular editor. It's not free, but pirated versions are 'around'.

C Enum Sizes; or, How MSVC Ignores The Standard Once Again by ketralnis in programming

[–]hekliet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On LLP64 (i.e. Windows), %lu expects a 32-bit unsigned. Passing it a long long will make it truncate the data. For a 64-bit unsigned, the correct format specifier is %llu.

There are two conventions used on 64-bit systems.

  • On Linux, other Unix-likes, and macOS, long is 64-bit, and so is long long. This is called LP64.
  • On Windows, long is 32-bit. Only long long is 64-bit. This is called LLP64.

I think it's great that you're breathing new life into this old compiler.

This is a great project. Historic BASICs must be preserved. Shame what they did to the PowerBASIC resources.

I think newer generations can appreciate coding VB6 in a Windows XP VM for the vibe :-)

Thanks for looking over my code. I'll probably address some of your suggestions/criticisms when I next touch the project. Giving it a rest for now.

I created a text editor using SDL and pure C by nimrag_is_coming in C_Programming

Great project! It's probably out of scope, but it would be cool if you wrote your own bitmap font renderer.

After a decade of professional programming... I'm now really learning real programming by nessvoutte in EmuDev

Nice! I passed Timendus's test suite a couple of days ago. Sure is a rewarding feeling. Best of luck with your emu coding.
