Hi All:

I seem to be having problems with building pdb files
and writing to Console[crt].

When I build my pdb[debug info] the WriteFile at end of program
don't work.

Any Suggestions:

Hello,
try this

\masm32\bin\Link /NOLOGO /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /DEBUG /PDB:%1.pdb %1.obj

Here is my BLDALLD.BAT BuildAll Debug batch file from my MASM32.
Of course you need to edit your menu to add it as an option.

You may or may not like the Listing file output.

 Hi ALL:
It would appear that the
     invoke GetStdHandle, STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE
is not working. The carry is set and eax = 10001

You are right the listing file is Huge!

[sinsi]

Don't check the carry flag for any Windows API call - the return value is usually in EAX. In the case of GetStdHandle, if it fails EAX will be INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE (ffffffff), so 10001 is a valid handle.
