[mjansen] write it directly in a hex-editor

[mjansen] no weak shit like an assembler

[TVA] lets get serious

[mjansen] ok

[mjansen] magnetic needle, harddisk

[mjansen] go!

[TVA] ...

[eersoy93] TVA: What C tutorial you are reading?

[TVA] c primer plus

[hbelusca] you should use instead C(++) for dummies.

[TVA] probably

[mjansen] well everyone has to figure out what works for him

[mjansen] something that works for one, wont work for the other

[mjansen] and vice versa

[TVA] yeah

[TVA] Still I feel really unsure because i'm still too new to programming

[hyoenmadan] <TVA>: most probably your problem isn't with the language, but with logic and problem solving

[TVA] How logic applies to the language, that's what I'm figuring out

Write in pseudocode

[hyoenmadan] yep

[TVA] I studied logic years ago and I had the idea that I could prottype a program as a logic formula before jumping into the code.

[TVA] I always start in pseudocode

[hbelusca] so far I've seen only very "basic" logic in common programming languages: "if then else do while for etc..."

[hbelusca] not the logic stuff you study in mathematics

[hyoenmadan] then you souldn't have problems translating that to C using standard functions

[TVA] yeah, maybe I just need to read more and be less concerned

[hyoenmadan] <hbelusca>: heh, well... sometimes the problem is translating complex looking problems into these simple logic constructions

[hbelusca] yeah

[hyoenmadan] <TVA>: generally begineer books tell exactly which subset of C use to start

[hyoenmadan] getch, printf, scanf

[hyoenmadan] and such

[TVA] yes I'm familiar with those

[TVA] My issue with that exercise that took me a month is that arrays were introduced

[eersoy93] TVA: Are you perfectionist?

[TVA] no

what is complexity of arrays? 🤔

[TVA] ?

[hbelusca] i think he asks what's so complex about arrays.

+1

[hyoenmadan] yah, what is what is giving your problem about arrays?

[TVA] Arrays aren't like variables so nothing I try with them that I learned to do with variables work, so it's not that arrays are hard I just don't know what to do and what to not do

that's because arrays are not just variables

but you usually can operate them as memory blocks

in low-level programming languages like C

[TVA] yes, my books still has to touch on that

[hbelusca] !bc 0x1a

[hTechBot] KeBugCheck( MEMORY_MANAGEMENT );

[CatButts] hai guise

[CatButts] https://source.winehq.org/WineAPI/RtlIsCriticalSectionLockedByThread.html

[CatButts] I know that winapi has BOOLEAN and BOOL

[CatButts] how can I be sure of which type WINE uses

[CatButts] one of them is an integer

[CatButts] and the other is unsigned char

[hbelusca] boolean is unsigned char.

[hbelusca] bool is (unsigned) int.

[hbelusca] well it's actually really 32bit even on x64.

[CatButts] and WINE sticks to same convention, yes?

[hbelusca] it better does.

[hbelusca] Otherwise it breaks compatibility with the very stuff it wants to be compatible with.

[CatButts] wait

[CatButts] BOOL is not int

[CatButts] it's uint?

[hbelusca] Anyway their prototype is wrong because it must be BOOLEAN.

[hbelusca] CatButts: https://git.reactos.org/?p=reactos.git&a=search&h=HEAD&st=grep&s=*PBOOL

[hbelusca] actually it's int.

[CatButts] I think that's an undocumented function

[CatButts] >NTSYSAPI BOOL WINAPI RtlIsCriticalSectionLockedByThread(RTL_CRITICAL_SECTION *);

[hbelusca] that's from winternl.h of wine ^

[Mysoft] well they are both returned on EAX

[Mysoft] but the thing is... when it's uchar

[Mysoft] will NT just set one byte?

[hbelusca] it wwill.

[Mysoft] so it will just set AL

[mjansen] it is free to spoil AH

[Mysoft] yeah ok

[Mysoft] so i hope all NTDLL functions use BOOLEAN instead of BOOL

[hbelusca] n8
