[solved] docu about open com must be changed.

[D.J.Peters]

declare function Open Com ( byref options as string, AS filenum as long ) as long

The result of var hFile = FreeFile() has the same size as a pointer (a handle from OS)

open com are declared as long (32-bit) but should be integer (32/64-bit)

Not agree:

Code: Select all

#print typeof(Open Com("COM1:9600,N,,2" As 1))
#print typeof(freefile())

• LONG
  LONG

You are right FreeBASIC does not use real file handles my fault :-(
you get it only with Declare Function FileAttr ( ByVal filenum As Long, ByVal returntype As Long = 1 ) As Integer
