xHarbour builder & FWH - workaround

[Antonio Linares]

There is a problem with the most recent xHarbour builder and FWH. Copy this code in your main PRG and it fixes it:

Code: Select all

#pragma BEGINDUMP

#include <hbapi.h>
#include <windows.h>

typedef struct
{
   FARPROC farProc;
   BYTE bType;
   BYTE bReturn;
   BYTE bParams;
   BYTE bParam[ 15 ];
} STRFUNC;

HB_FUNC( GETPROCADDRESS )
{
   STRFUNC strFunc;
   BYTE b = 0;
   BYTE bFunc[ 4 ];

   strFunc.bParams = hb_pcount() - 4;
   
   if( ISNUM( 2 ) )
   {
      bFunc[ 0 ]      = hb_parni( 2 );
      bFunc[ 1 ]      = 0;
      strFunc.farProc = GetProcAddress( ( HMODULE ) hb_parnl( 1 ), ( LPSTR ) bFunc );
   }
   else
      strFunc.farProc = GetProcAddress( ( HMODULE ) hb_parnl( 1 ), hb_parc( 2 ) );

   strFunc.bType      = hb_parl( 3 );
   strFunc.bReturn    = hb_parni( 4 );

   while( b < strFunc.bParams )
   {
      strFunc.bParam[ b ] = hb_parni( 5 + b );
      b++;                // keep this here cause Borland 5
   }

   hb_retclen( ( char * ) &strFunc, sizeof( STRFUNC ) - 15 + strFunc.bParams );
}

#pragma ENDDUMP

Hello, sorry, me again!

I copied (cut & pasted) the temporary fix into my main .prg but when compiling I now get the following xHB error:

hbole.h Line 62 Error F0026 Parse error in constant expression '\'

Help!

Regards,

Dale.

Dale,

What xHarbour builder version or RC are you using ?

Have you tried with a fresh install of xHarbour builder ? Here it works ok.

Hello,

I am using the latest release of XHB i.e. August 2006 RC-8.

I always uninstall my current version and re-install the new one each time a new release is made available so there is no chance that it is a corrupt installation or contains old or modified files. I do the same with FWH.

Regards,

Dale.

Dale,

Please build this sample with xHB. It should build and work ok with no problems. Let us know if it works ok, thanks.

Code: Select all

#include "FiveWin.ch"

function Main() 

   MsgInfo( GetCPU() )
   ShellExecute( 0, 'Open', 'http://www.google.com/' )
   
return nil

#pragma BEGINDUMP

#include <hbapi.h>
#include <windows.h>

typedef struct
{
   FARPROC farProc;
   BYTE bType;
   BYTE bReturn;
   BYTE bParams;
   BYTE bParam[ 15 ];
} STRFUNC;

HB_FUNC( GETPROCADDRESS )
{
   STRFUNC strFunc;
   BYTE b = 0;
   BYTE bFunc[ 4 ];

   strFunc.bParams = hb_pcount() - 4;
   
   if( ISNUM( 2 ) )
   {
      bFunc[ 0 ]      = hb_parni( 2 );
      bFunc[ 1 ]      = 0;
      strFunc.farProc = GetProcAddress( ( HMODULE ) hb_parnl( 1 ), ( LPSTR ) bFunc );
   }
   else
      strFunc.farProc = GetProcAddress( ( HMODULE ) hb_parnl( 1 ), hb_parc( 2 ) );

   strFunc.bType      = hb_parl( 3 );
   strFunc.bReturn    = hb_parni( 4 );

   while( b < strFunc.bParams )
   {
      strFunc.bParam[ b ] = hb_parni( 5 + b );
      b++;                // keep this here cause Borland 5
   }

   hb_retclen( ( char * ) &strFunc, sizeof( STRFUNC ) - 15 + strFunc.bParams );
}

#pragma ENDDUMP

Dale,

There is a simpler solution. Please add these lines into FiveWin.ch:

Code: Select all

#ifdef __XHARBOUR__
   REQUEST GetProcAddress
#endif

Thanks very much for the help.

I tried both methods and both work perfectly - thanks.

I must apologise to you for posting the compile error. I did not realise that I had a comment before the '#pragma BEGINDUMP' statement i.e. I had '***#pragma BEGINDUMP'. Careless! Sorry about that!

Once again, thanks for the help.

Regards,

Dale.

Dale,

You are welcome. Glad to know it is working fine
