SyntaxBomb - Indie Coders

I actually transfer education software from BlitzMax 1.51 to BlitzMax NG.

I nearly had no problems, but one function looks like working no more:


?Win32
Extern "win32"
   Function GetVersion:Int()
End Extern
?
.....

Function DiesesOs%()
?MacOs
Return 0
?Win32
Return (GetVersion() & $f)*10  + ((GetVersion() Shr 8) & $f)
?
End Function
?

Error Message is:

Can somebody please explain, what happened?

There is already a GetVersion() defined and you try to redefine it.

you need to "redefine" it more properly now.


untested:

?Win32
        Extern "win32"
'original definition:    WINBASEAPI DWORD WINAPI GetVersion (VOID);
           Function GetVersion:Int()="DWORD GetVersion()!"
        End Extern
?


WINBASEAPI and WINAPI should be left out - return value, function name and params would be what has to be written in the quotation marks. The "!" exclamation mark makes it "more important" :)

Thanks a lot Derron!

I do not understand your solution, but it works.
