Hello
I would like to make some new PCOUNT files.
Is a dword the standard size for count?
Do byte size params get a count of 1?
And do qword size params get a count of 2?

sample prototypes...

Code:

void MyFunc ( double x, double y ); // pcount = 4
void MyFunc ( long x, long y );     // pcount = 2
void MyFunc ( short x, short y );   // pcount = 2
void MyFunc ( char x, char y );     // pcount = 2

Am i understanding this correctly?

no matter if it is a char, short, long or a double. The count should be one. I know that they are of different lengths (1,2,4 & Cool

, but 64-bit Windows still uses the same amount of parameters.

I think the things get complicated (as I understand from your post) when you deal with a 32-bit native app, that wants access to larger than 32-bit variables. Then the stack space allocated for a "long long" variable would be double the native word.

But shouldn't then char be 0.25? Very Happy

actually in 32bit windows, a double parameter requires you to add 2 to the pcount variable, not just one. I don't know about 64bit windows.

Is Tomasz planning on expanding the standard include set?
If so, i can donate some time for API/EQUATES/PCOUNT files.
Recently i have been working on opengl32 and openal32 files.
I would really like to see opengl as a standard for fasm Smile

Also winmm32 would be a good one to have...
