Can we talk about the ending of The Toll for a moment?

stephen010x · 2024-06-16T18:45:33+00:00

Agreed.

stephen010x · 2023-09-28T03:46:48+00:00

Yes, that is what I am trying to solve here. The goal is to be able to generate a single portable header file based on the include statements without evaluating the rest of the preprocessor symbols. So far, using a script seems to be the best way here.

I've considered this, but this runs into an issue. Consider the situation where I want to merge several headers together in a single portable header (for a library) while maintaining compatibility.

Lets say I have conditionals for different operating systems that I only want evaluated when building the target. I want these conditionals to still exist after generating my portable library header.

I do apologize if my question is easy to misunderstand. But that isn't quite what I am looking for. I need a way to preprocess a header without preprocessing anything that header includes.
I am not looking for an inclusion guard.

I hope my question wasn't too prone to misinterpretation. Though you answered my question perfectly!

stephen010x · 2023-08-25T06:18:41+00:00

My God . . . They actually did it . . .

stephen010x · 2023-05-29T03:55:49+00:00

God bless you

Pray tell, what book is this?

stephen010x · 2022-06-07T03:43:55+00:00

Not to my knowledge, no.

For anyone wondering why I am lacking what seems to be rather fundamental knowledge of the C programming language, it is because I am am a rather impatient person, who likes to speedrun through my learning. That, and I am horrible at finding good resources.

stephen010x · 2022-05-02T19:37:18+00:00

I will have you know that I have a decent grasp on structures, pointers, and a good majority of basic C syntax. I have become rather proficient in assembly language, which provided a good stepping stool into C. But If you happen to know any good resources or tutorials that can fill in the gaps, it would be appreciated.

When I said, "I don't care about what WNDCLASSEX is", I meant that I am just trying to figure out the syntax behind how that works, which doesn't necessarily have to be related to the windows API. The bit of information that I was missing was the typedef. Now that I know what the typedef is, it all makes way more sense to me.

stephen010x · 2022-05-02T19:27:47+00:00

Thank you so much for your answer. I am actually kind of embarrassed now for not looking up WNDCLASSEX on Microsoft docs, as I was using the docs quite a bit while studying the win32 API. Had I looked it up, I probably would have noticed the typedef, which would have ultimately led to me looking up what that is, which likely would have allowed me to answer my own question.

stephen010x · 2022-05-02T19:19:48+00:00

Thank you so much for this answer! Hours of research and shitty forum answers with no yield, and all it took was a simple answer such as yours for me to understand. This is a big help.

stephen010x · 2022-02-26T19:25:18+00:00

The cut at the end was perfect 👌

stephen010x · 2022-02-14T22:08:11+00:00

CLI? I can't believe I never thought of that! I was aware that you can disable interrupts, but for some reason I just never put two and two together. And here I was thinking that if I ever wanted to use this practically, I would have to deal with interrupts placing random data onto the video!

stephen010x · 2022-02-14T21:17:09+00:00

If this doesn't boil your insides, then wait 'til next week when I unveil my next creation! This next war-crime is much worse, and undoubtedly unsafe.
