Please post incorrect/outdated structures and definition in Masm32 Here

i'll start it

OSVERSIONINFOEXA is outdated, to accomodate vista+ I updated OSVERSIONINFOEXA as below and renamed to OSVERSIONINFOEXAX but you can simply replace.

Isn't there a "windows.inc" subforum for this?  In either case,

BITRECORD RECORD fBinary:1,fParity:1,fOutxCtsFlow:1,fOutxDsrFlow:1,fDtrControl:2,fDsrSensitivity:1,fTXContinueOnXoff:1,fOutX:1,fInX:1,fErrorChar:1,fNull:1,fRtsControl:2,fAbortOnError:1,fDummy2:17

is in reversed order (still :bg)

> Isn't there a "windows.inc" subforum for this?

Yes there is as a matter of fact so I moved it here.

It is nearly impossible to keep track of single items spread all over the forum, what I need is reliable reference for the data change so I can do any upgrades to WINDOWS.INC in a lifetime.

While it's an active topic, i've always wondered: How come Windows.inc is one massive file, instead of broken down into the various sub files like windows.h is?  Masm has a pretty decent preprocessor, it would seem easier to maintain and easier to use like that (eg, seamless switching between Ansi and Unicode), and certainly easier to update.

well - it is broken into 2 files
i was thinking Hutch might be able to write a little program that compares windows.inc's
that way, rather than manually updating them - or trying to keep track
he could put several files in a folder and it would compare them and let him have yea/nea on alterations - just a thought

Dave,

The last major mod on the Windows inc file split it into two due to line limits of earlier versions of masm and it had about 600k of extras added to it. I use a miriad of automated techniques to maintain it, rigid duplicate checking as POASM will stop on duplicates. The source is corrently split into about 50 files that can be edited manually then recombined into the two large include files that are current. This keeps a lot of the file in order for dependencies and allows extras to be added to each file so you have some chance of keeping track of what is in it.

New structures are discovered by running the current Microsoft C compiler after including the complete SDK iclude file set with redirected output then searching the file for all of the structures which go into a seperate file. It is then checked for duplicates in the original and any new ones are written to another file. Then they have to be checked manually to ensure they do not ue MASM reserve words and then are added to the master files for recombination.

Maintaining the MASM include file including Windows.inc is a nightmare and if you get it wrong it goes BANG. Every time I have let anyone modify it or add stuff to it I have ended up spending a week fixing it.

Now while I understand Red's suggestion, you would need to buys a chair and computer that would last you many lifetimes as manually editing that much data into seperate include file would take that long.  :P

Hmm... if only there were a forum of dedicated people willing to help out?  :bg  I've always wanted to add "WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN EQU 1" to my masm programs!  But seriously, though, thanks to anyone and everyone who has helped out to make windows.inc over the years

Here is the file list for the win inc directory. This does not include the contents of any of the other support directories that are needed to extract the data from Microsoft SDK header files.

It does a number of interesting things, when you run the MAKEIT.BAT file it scans the file list of TXT files, auto-renumbers them while keeping them in order. Then it creates a new list of files, recombines them into one big file, splits the file into two so it can be run by older versions of ML, then it is scanned for duplicates which are then written to a seperate file for reference. There is an option with the duplicate checking software to comment out the duplicate which was necessary when I had to do the last big fix but by keeping it in reasonable shape, I rarely ever need to run that option.

Stay tuned for the details of the other mountain of toys needed to extract the data if you can stay awake long enough ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz..................

didn't realize there was entire sub forum for it, can delete this thread :)

[dedndave]

well - i knew it was a headache, Hutch - lol - it is huge
and - yes - thank you so much for maintaining it
i am sure asm programmers everywhere make use of it - not just our members
