_ZeroMemory(address(__OSVI), size(_OSVERSIONINFOEX_))
__OSVI.dwOSVersionInfoSize = size(_OSVERSIONINFOEX_)
fOsVersionInfoEx = _GetVersionEx(__OSVI)
if fOsVersionInfoEx
__OSVI.dwOSVersionInfoSize = size(_OSVERSIONINFO_)
if ~_GetVersionEx(__OSVI)
return.
end
where OSVERSIONEX etc are....
__OSVI
like(_OSVERSIONINFOEX_),auto,name('_OSVI')
_TCHAR equate(byte)
_OSVERSIONINFO_ group,type
dwOSVersionInfoSize long
dwMajorVersion long
dwMinorVersion long
dwBuildNumber long
dwPlatformId long
szCSDVersion _TCHAR,dim(128)
end
_OSVERSIONINFOEX_ group(_OSVERSIONINFO_),type
wServicePackMajor short
wServicePackMinor short
wSuiteMask short
wProductType byte
wReserved byte
end
_VER_PLATFORM_WIN32s equate(0)
_VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_WINDOWS equate(1)
_VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT equate(2)
_GetVersionEx(*_OSVERSIONINFOEX_
VersionInfo),short,raw,pascal,name('GetVersionExA')
_MoveMemory(long DestinationPtr,long SourcePtr,long
dwLength),bool,raw,proc,pascal,name('RtlMoveMemory')
_FillMemory(long DestinationPtr,long dwLength, long
Value),pascal,name('RtlFillMemory')
_ZeroMemory(long DestinationPtr,long
dwLength),raw,pascal,name('RtlZeroMemory')
You're better off learning to prototype and use API functions yourself in
many cases.
