1. define_c_var for Win32??? - Rob
Hi,
(This question is mainly directed to Rob)
Will "define_c_var" be supported in Windows one day?
For me it would be a huge help with euAllegro as this is the main
reason I created an extra DLL (which is a huge amount of extra work).
Thanks,
Ray Smith

And call_back() for DOS32 too.
It allows us to call our Euphoria routines from ASM
and C.

"define_c_var"? Is there a "define_c_var" that I missed?
Is your need for this to avoid all the peeking / poking, type conversion
stuff when calling dll functions? If it is then I would also like this.

If someone can tell me how to get the address of a
variable in a Windows .dll, i.e. a .dll that I've loaded
dynamically using LoadLibrary(), I can probably add this
feature very easily.
Currently you can run define_c_var() with Euphoria
for Windows, but it just tries to find the symbol as
if it were an exported function - I thought there was a chance
this would work, but I didn't know whether you were
supposed to look up "x", "_x" or something else.

OK, I'll change the docs to say it works in WIN32 as well as Linux.
I implemented it for Windows just before the 2.2 release, and
I doubted it would work since the WIN32 function I'm calling
is called GetProcAddress(), and the Windows API docs
only describe linking C routines with it. I got the idea from
somewhere that it might work with exported variables too,
but a quick test I tried failed, so I took it out of the docs.
I probably didn't do the test correctly.
