zTrace converted to C/C++

I did a small change to the thread creation source code and i added two missing {} in the WM_COMMAND, to let it work.

Now the zTrace.dll 64-bit is alive, at least by me 

that would help me to further debug my 64-bit DLL(s)...

Patrice,
  I was able to compile in both 32 and 64 bit with the cl from the 7.1 SDK.
I get the zTrace window when testing but the text is gibberish.
Can you show just a simple demo of it's use?

James--

it is using UNICODE !!!

I shall post very soon the compiled version for 32/64 bit (both working in Unicode)
The original PowerBASIC version works in ANSI.

[James C. Fuller]

I know it's unicode and I did figure out you need to pass a WCHAR string but I wanted to see a c++ snippet of calling it from you.

BTW I compiled both 32 and 64 bit dll's without name mangling so I can easily call zTrace from any language.

Good work.

Ok I got it.
It was in the declare so I could pass a wstring -> ws.c_str()
I needed const and you should probably add it to the function also.

}

Patrice,
I only tested the zTrace function but the dll's I created work with:

MinGW gcc 32/64
MinGw g++ 32/64
VC++(wiin 7.1 sdk) 32/64
Borland c++ 5.5 32
PellesC 7R   32/64
Tiny c 32
