Sounds good. 🙂
Btw have you located a handy IDE/debugger yet? Windows Server allows for both VSCode and Windbg – for the current issue VSCode should be enough.

Thanks, the fog over the idea of #defines functions/macros has cleared somewhat – as the OP mentioned, the y variable wasn’t all that relevant to the MRE. So forked another sample with the updated code. 🙂
It’s just such a weird setup what with the comma and the insertion operator used that in that way as well. 😛
In other news appertaining to those over here of another age:
Reddit sues Australia over social media ban, citing free speech threat
Free Speech hey?

It’s just that the people listening think you are … underage?

😛

Posted this at AL, here for future reference. 😛

See this #define using functions – what’s the difference in using that code in a standard function?
Neither able to make much sense out of Code block in a C++ preprocessor macro does not work without braces either – made a little IDEONE fork as a sandbox, the y value doesn’t seem to go anywhere in the demo either.

[DeVaultSetter]

Cool, thanks for the link! 🙂
Less technical is fine this way any way – the Scientific & Technical Amateur Radio is just the thing. And never knew about Github Toasts – the Windows Tray menu is a good enough substitute no?

Have any YouTube 40’s Looney Tunes links to share?

Plenty of action with twists and turns in Wanted, and its fine direction makes you wonder why the sequel was never released. Recommended.

Reckless runs a very nicely paced plot, script & dialogue, fitting the roles into the provided portrayals came across somewhat like fitting square pegs into round holes – or vice versa. Thus the barebones of the budget could not be concealed, as was the case with the production, and in particular, the sets.
Enjoyable though, so will be here when they come up with series two!

Midsommar starts off in a rather dinky manner, until you get to the location where it slowly evolves into an Ashram garden of muraled weirdness, wailing dirges, crying babies and abrupt scene changes that all end up in some kind of a Jonestown/Wickerman inspired predicament, where the surviving folk coming out of it, well, quite beaming you know. Might have been a while getting into the rhythm of it, once engaged, things seemed to have worked out quite well. Recommended!

On the other hand, there was some difficulty identifying with the slightly less than suave protagonist in Under the Silver Lake gawking round abstruse clues for stuff that really never made a lot of sense. There’s a lot in there that ticks the boxes for a bad movie, particularly the wtf scene transitions and jittery music score. Must have missed something then, so will the pull of the much vaunted mystery ever be enough to encounter the push of the memory retained of it?

[DeVaultSetter]

Yeah, there was hope one of the openai-compatible AI providers could provide a cogent answer to questions like “what have the goblins and their durzogs done to our code formatting?” Not all of their chats are working out at present. 😛

Out of luck there, this thread mentions AllocConsole, perhaps try that? Then use CLPs like —console or —headless for output.

Did try these in the PS console for empty output:

& "C:\Program Files\MWEdit 0.6.3\mwedit.exe" | Out-Host
cd \ ; cd "C:\Program Files\MWEdit 0.6.3" ; .\mwedit.exe > ~\Desktop\gui_output.txt 2>&1
cd \ ; cd "C:\Program Files\MWEdit 0.6.3" ; .\mwedit.exe 2>&1 | ForEach-Object { $_ | Out-String }
Start-Process "C:\Program Files\MWEdit 0.6.3\mwedit.exe" -RedirectStandardOutput ~\Desktop\gui_output.txt

Yep, the three DLLs have the same version, “1.8.0.0” with the Product version “1.8.0 Ansi.”

[DeVaultSetter]

Sounds good. 🙂
Couldn’t resist posting a link onto yet another helpful tool, Sourcebot – could it be this is the one that can magically cure all the ailments of MWEdit?

How about revamping the Green Goddess Salad? There wants to be more clarity on it so bemoaned the fact there is no article for it on Salad Dressing page.
Never tried paprika in coffee – probably best without sweetener though. Is that instant or brewed?
Please share some of your newly found pan lore. 🙂
Wouldn’t it be cool if you could visit a restaurant with a feed bag attached – what are the possibilities in enhancing the table talk? A language of muffled humphs and grunts. And forget the pre-dinner drinks or after dinner cocktails, unless the bag has a siphon attached. 😛

A joke told at the Baftas back in the day still resonates!

[DeVaultSetter]

Ian Gunn rewrote the story in poetic form for an edition of ye olde Australian HHG zine Pangalia, as a parody of The Man from Snowy River by A. B. “Banjo” Paterson.

Uh – don’t recall that – to transmute the antics of Veet and Zaphod into the following would be an amazing stretch:

There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around
That the colt from old Regret had got away,
And had joined the wild bush horses – he was worth a thousand pound,
So all the cracks had gathered to the fray.
All the tried and noted riders from the stations near and far
Had mustered at the homestead overnight,
For the bushmen love hard riding where the wild bush horses are,
And the stockhorse snuffs the battle with delight.

@One Armed Badger may be the only one in the Universe with that copy of Pangalia! Edwina Harvey is mentioned in the Fancyclopedia which happens to present a rather spicy definition of fan. That article mentions fen as an irregular plural of fan, thus fens in that context isn’t allowed, apparently. Drawing a very thin circle, do permit us to bring in The Fens of England, being just on the edge of the birthplace of the one and only very figure of Douglas Adams himself! Go figure. 😛
Ah, true devotees would have ensured his stone was numbered 42 in the cemetery (itself having an address containing the number), 42 (in/cm) dimension-wise, or his body multiples of 42 (in/cm) below, having 42 flowerpots and ballpoint pens all around … A natural consequence can be imagined as visitors to the gravesite being requested to form groups of 42, limiting their conversations to 42 words or less, having arrived on the 42nd day of the year in flights/trains/buses all possessing that number somewhere, somehow. At the sound of all this madness, Adams is sure to be gyrating his remains 42 times in sheer horror. 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

Oh right, a massive job then. Another thing will be the git repo – all the old folders will still appear in the code section – one way around it is to create a branch with the new structure and then make that master.
Get it now, why do they all have to be prefixed esm if already in an ESM directory? As a matter of interest the mvccommon header and cpp which retrieve the game installation paths are in there as well. A practical workaround would be to assign that kind of info to a class property in a class module. VB also had .cls file extensions which helped navigation greatly. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Certainly Zork has drummed up a bit of interest – the engine update is 6 years back in the Github repo – no doubt that will change soon. 🙂
Would you believe there is a piccy of an odd sock at Wikipedia?

From Good Things Guy the “Sock Loss Index” is:

(L(p x f) + C(t x s)) – (P x A). In the formula, ‘L’ stands for ‘laundry size’ which is calculated by multiplying the number of people in the household (p) with the frequency of washes in a week (f). ‘C’ stands for the ‘washing complexity.

There’s is surely another factor, the sub population of those who already have a collection of odd socks. Surely those folks would take extra care in order to reduce the risk of more orphaned socks? Seems to have worked over here – so far. 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

Good ideas, definitely in terms of a user running a portable MWEdit, if it is ever to be offered. There’s also MO2 which uses a virtual system, Wrye Bash has a fairly straight-forward looking directory structure.
What is the purpose of the files with the esm prefix I wonder?

[DeVaultSetter]

Nice, esp. when there is a Spanish flea powder shaker on hand. Two dogs you know. 😛
The entire Motown discog is on display – one wonders if anyone has painstakingly gone through the Discdogs Complete Motown Singles list and checked. 😛
Concerning matters relating to the heart, Eartha Kitt advises to Speak Low:

A little bit more upbeat with Coltrane:

Speaking of which, always thought Coltrane’s Lazy Bird was some weird sling at Parker – but no! A cool mono version by Tyner featuring the well known “Bud Powell voicings” is on YouTube as a much later bonus addition to a much later compilation. It’s the best version out there. IMHUMOP. 🙂

Have you ever performed a facial recognition search on Google – apparently they have “results for people are limited” along with zero hits of images similar to the one you want. Weird, as there are so many other ways of doing it – Pimeyes and Yandex to mention a few – tried Bing image search, which didn’t throw up objections as much as not being all that helpful either – might be by design. 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

Sounds good. The compare list for the changes is really neat – tried reversing the order for newest first – it’s up to date. 😛
Ok, asked about options – no – really helpful over there btw. 🙂
The two-dot compare is massive with overflow on display limits no doubt.

[DeVaultSetter]

It’s on the B/W list, and, being a short film, on the shortlist. 🙂
The Patient is an odd piece – especially if one expects canned laughter to follow everywhere Steve Carell goes. It has deserted him here. Cleverly scripted and filmed on a low budget, the rather depressing tale leads to a rather depressing outcome, the more so, as there are a few nudges in the later episodes hinting for the making of a sequel.
Have you seen Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon? Nice pace and cinematography versus dubious morality on a plodding script, the thing for me was the open-ended approach to the finish. It’s such a relief for the viewer not to be bogged down in the minutiae coming from a director’s choice of inserting ridiculous explanations for everything. 😛

There’s plenty of character jostling and contention in Sea Fever while the resolute Siobhan, the lead holds it altogether rather well. Not so much horror as unease with the evolving situation on the boat, and the sense of confinement from the limited possibilities of being on the wide-open sea in the clutches of said company. No hints indicating a sequel were spotted either, so fine with that. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

In most cases (for me at least) 0xc0000005 emitted by the VS debugger gives a pretty good indication of the source in the code of the invalid memory write. YMMV. 🙂
Yeah it’s a funny one, pathing back then was limited by issues such as 8.3 filenames and the like, so I think Dave was motivated by dealing with the “root” path for Morrowind, and not worrying about anything else. Fortunately, things have moved on since then. 🙂
Sounds an interesting range of options. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

If there’s no way you can open the file dialog in an IDE debug session, it’s a major setback. 🙁
Have you made any decisions as far as the file dialog mentioned back here? The Listview is just about the most versatile thing around – any other third party variants are likely to do just about the same thing and add an extra cost in performance.
