I wasn’t sure how to express my gratitude.

It wasn’t bad for the occasional topical jest but holy shit does it make reading feeds painful.

Edit: in no way am I making a statement about code syntax. We don’t write documentation in camel case for good reason.

    Don’t forget to set the cbSize of the GETWITTYREPLYEXINFO structure before passing it to GetWittyReplyEx() or you’ll get funny things happening to your stack!

      You didn’t specify wide or ascii, we’re all doomed.

      I’m glad to to meet another Knight of 9x.

        That’s handled by virtue of GetWittyReplyEx being #defined to GetWittyReplyExA and GetWittyReplyExW right? Just be aware that nMaxReplyMessage needs to be specified in bytes (excluding the null terminator!) but the returned length is in characters.

          well hopefully that’s how you’re writing it.

          i’ve definitely found the ascii version of a syscall being called because that’s what the linux project uses so why wouldn’t the junior dev that was assigned the port do it too?

          there’s no #define that will save you from that. I may or may not have been that junior dev so no shade.
