Hello
I'm transferring now all my programs to 64bit, they will be faster and I can allocate memory up to 12 GB unter 16GB RAM.
I have only problems with browse_for_folder@, it always produce an arror. I get an Silverfrost exception report, RPC server is unavailable within KERNELBASE.dll.
On the other hand, I can't read with %ss any prarameters from the .INI file and also, I can't write to the .INI file.
What I have made wrong?

Thanks for Help

In both cases a short sample program would help to identify reasons for the failure. browse_for_folder@ should be OK. There might be problems with %ss concerning protected folders. Post some samples and I will check them out.

Hi Paul,
here are the two sample programs:
browse_for_folder@:

winapp
program suchefolder
use mswin
implicit none
character*80 title,path
logical folder
title='Suche Folder'
call browse_for_folder@(title,path)
! folder=browse_for_folder@(title,path)
end

In both cases of call there will be the exception report.

%ss:

winapp
program sstest
use mswin
implicit none
integer*4 ssctrl,testvalue,a,openctrl
testvalue=0
ssctrl=-1
a=winio@('%ss[SSTest/SSTest]&',ssctrl)
a=winio@('%ww[invisible]&')
a=winio@('%nlTestvalue: %rd&',testvalue)
a=winio@('%lw',openctrl)
call sleep@(0.01)
openctrl=0
call window_update@(openctrl)
a=winio@('%ca[Result]&')
a=winio@('%nlResult: %wd&',testvalue)
a=winio@('%2nl%cn%9`bt[OK]')
end

The File SSTEST.INI contains:

[SSTest]
Testvalue=1000

When I build with win32, testvalue is 1000, with x64 testvalue is 0.
Thank you for looking.

I can confirm that both of these need fixing for 64 bits and I made a note of this.

I'm getting the same problem. It opens the browse-for-folder dialog window but fails when I click on almost anything - though did actually create a new folder when I simply clicked on 'Make new folder' (in the default location)

The %ss issue has now been fixed.

For me, browse_for_folder@ does not even get started (Exception: RPC server not available).

Thank you for fixing the %ss issue.
When I get an exception report, how can I see the line number, which is generating the error?
When I use CheckMatex64 I get the building error:
error 1205: - /CHECK is not available in FTN95/64
when I use Debugx64 or Releasex64 I get only error adresses, but no line numbers.
Thanks for Help

64 bit browse_for_folder@ has now been fixed for the next release.

Use /debug and try launching SDBG64.exe using your exe and step through the program or click on "continue".

Hello

Sorry, but I don't use the command line. I use only Plato under Windows, its more uncomplicated for me. Here I have found, when I use the new Plato, no differenz between "Release win32" and "Debug32", always I get the debug-version. When I use "Debugx64" and "release64" I get always the same, in this case the Release-version.

Another Problem I have found with the intrinsic subroutine ichar. For example I get under x64 negativ values, for my opinion I can't get negativ values, specially, when I transfer the Pixelvalues from an 24bit grahic area.
The example program runs corect under win32 and give back the values 100 and 200, the win64 programs gives 100 and -56, this is not corect.

winapp

program ichartest
use mswin
implicit none

integer*4 a,iclow,ichigh

character*1 charlow,charhigh
iclow=0
ichigh=0
charlow=char(100)
charhigh=char(200)
iclow=ichar(charlow)
ichigh=ichar(charhigh)

a=winio@('%ca[Result]&')
a=winio@('%nllow: %wd high: %wd&',iclow,ichigh)
a=winio@('%2nl%cn%9`bt[OK]')

end

The problem appears to be with the result of ichar for characters with the 8th bit set. /64 gives the wrong result. Looks as if ichar is giving integer*1 result then equated to I*4. See the following code for /32 and /64
Code:
  integer*4 i,j
  integer*1 k(4)
  character c
  equivalence (j,k)
!
  do i = 92,206,20
    c = char  (i)
    j = ichar (c)
    write (*,*) c,i,j,k
  end do
!
  do i = 92,206,20
    c = char  (i)
    j = ichar (c)
    j = iand  (j,255)
    write (*,*) c,i,j,k
  end do
!
 end

Hello

Sure, it works with iand(ichar(c),255) instead of ichar(c) but unfortunately, I have do change all my programs.

But, sorry, I have found 2 more problems:

winapp

program timetest
use mswin
implicit none

integer*4 a
real*8 zeitanf,zeitend

zeitanf=HIGH_RES_CLOCK@(.TRUE.)
call sleep@(1.0)
zeitend=HIGH_RES_CLOCK@(.FALSE.)

a=winio@('%ca[Meldung]&')
a=winio@('%cnCPU-Zeit!&')
a=winio@('%2nlDie CPU-Zeit beträgt: %wf sec&',zeitend-zeitanf)
a=winio@('%2nl%cn%9`bt[OK]')

end
gives absurd values for the cputime, always different, when I start once more. Win32 works normal.

The other problem is the reading of jpeg-files. get_dib_size@ and get_dib-block@ are not working with some (in my case photos from my digitalcamera, I can't send here an example) jpegfiles. I don't know, what is the difference between my photos and other "normal" jpegfiles. The error occurs also with Win32.

The diffrence between my digitalcamera jpegs and normal jpegs is that there are missing the JFIF-notation. When I insert at position 3 the sequenz

FF E0 00 10 4A 46 49 46 00 01 01 01 00 B4 00 B4 00 FF E1

then I have a normal jpeg.

Chemie,

HIGH_RES_CLOCK@ is VERY badly named, as it does not work in /64 and works very badly in 32 bit.

Preferable /64 routines for elapsed time are:
SYSTEM_CLOCK intrinsic,
STDCALL QUERYPERFORMANCECOUNTER 'QueryPerformanceCounter' (REF):LOGICAL*4, or
INTEGER(KIND=4) FUNCTION RDTSC_VAL@()

The clock tick rate is an issue. For these last 2 timers is found by:
STDCALL QUERYPERFORMANCEFREQUENCY 'QueryPerformanceFrequency' (REF):LOGICAL*4
From my recent testing, RDTSC_RATE@ = QueryPerformanceFrequency * 1024.

All these timers appear to be based on RDTSC

My recommendation is to use SYSTEM_CLOCK (ease of use), or RDTSC_VAL@() (most accurate)

Note: The function cpu_clock@ is not available for 64 bit applications and has been replaced by rdtsc_val@...
INTEGER(KIND=4) FUNCTION RDTSC_VAL@()

Code:
winapp

 program timetest
 use mswin
 implicit none

 integer*4 a
 real*8    zeitanf,zeitend
 real*8    system_clock_sec
 external  system_clock_sec

! zeitanf=HIGH_RES_CLOCK@(.TRUE.)
 zeitanf = system_clock_sec ()
 call sleep@ (1.0)
! zeitend=HIGH_RES_CLOCK@(.FALSE.)
 zeitend = system_clock_sec ()

 a=winio@('%ca[Meldung]&')
 a=winio@('%cnCPU-Zeit!&')
 a=winio@('%2nlDie CPU-Zeit beträgt: %wf sec&',zeitend-zeitanf)
 a=winio@('%2nl%cn%9`bt[OK]')

 end

!====  System Clock  ============================================================
   real*8 function system_clock_sec ()
      integer*8 :: tick
      integer*8 :: tick_start = -1
      real*8    :: tick_rate  = -1

      external  clock_tick_rate, clock_tick
!
      tick             = clock_tick ()
      if (tick_rate < 0) then
        tick_rate      = clock_tick_rate ()
        tick_start     = tick
      end if
      system_clock_sec = dble(tick-tick_start) / tick_rate
   end function system_clock_sec

   integer*8 function clock_tick ()
      integer*8 :: count
!
      call system_clock (count)
!
      clock_tick = count
   end function clock_tick
 
   integer*8 function clock_tick_rate ()
      integer*8 :: count_start
      integer*8 :: count_rate = -1
!
      if ( count_rate < 0) then
        call system_clock (count_start, count_rate)
      end if
!
      clock_tick_rate = count_rate
   end function clock_tick_rate

As a more extensive comparison of preferred elapsed time timers, all based on RDTSC and working for /32 or /64, the following example is a approach I have adopted and works on all recent pc's I have.
Code:
winapp

 program timetest
 use mswin
 implicit none

 integer*4 a, i
 real*8    zeitanf,zeitend
 real*8    test_sec
 external  test_sec

do i = 1,10
! zeitanf=HIGH_RES_CLOCK@(.TRUE.)
 zeitanf = test_sec (i)
 call sleep@ (1.0)
! zeitend=HIGH_RES_CLOCK@(.FALSE.)
 zeitend = test_sec (i)
 write (*,*) zeitend-zeitanf
end do

 a=winio@('%ca[Meldung]&')
 a=winio@('%cnCPU-Zeit!&')
 a=winio@('%2nlDie CPU-Zeit beträgt: %wf sec&',zeitend-zeitanf)
 a=winio@('%2nl%cn%9`bt[OK]')

 end

 real*8 function test_sec (i)
 integer*4 i
 real*8    system_clock_sec, QueryPerformance_sec, RDTSC_sec
 external  system_clock_sec, QueryPerformance_sec, RDTSC_sec
!
  select case ( mod(i,3) )
    case (0)
     test_sec =  system_clock_sec ()
    case (1)
     test_sec =  QueryPerformance_sec ()
    case (2)
     test_sec =  RDTSC_sec ()
  end select

  end function test_sec

      if (tick_rate < 0) then
        tick_rate      = clock_tick_rate ()
        tick_start     = tick
      end if
      system_clock_sec = dble(tick-tick_start) / tick_rate
   end function system_clock_sec

   integer*8 function clock_tick ()
      integer*8 :: count

      call system_clock (count)

      clock_tick = count
   end function clock_tick
 
   integer*8 function clock_tick_rate ()
      integer*8 :: count_start
      integer*8 :: count_rate = -1
!
      if ( count_rate < 0) then
        call system_clock (count_start, count_rate)
        write (*,*) 'System_Clock', count_rate,' ticks per second'
      end if
!
      clock_tick_rate = count_rate
   end function clock_tick_rate

!====  Query Perform  ===========================================================
! QueryPerformanceCounter   Windows API routine
   real*8 function QueryPerformance_sec ()
      integer*8 :: tick
      real*8    :: tick_rate = -1
      integer*8 QueryPerformance_rate, QueryPerformance_tick
      external  QueryPerformance_rate, QueryPerformance_tick
!
      if (tick_rate < 0)  &
      tick_rate            = QueryPerformance_rate ()
      tick                 = QueryPerformance_tick ()
      QueryPerformance_sec = dble (tick) / tick_rate
   end function QueryPerformance_sec

RDTSC_VAL@() is a 64 bit replacement for REAL*10 CPU_CLOCK@ and appears to work for 32 bit also. As INTEGER*8, I find this is a better option.

RDTSC rate is not documented and appears to be the processor rate. My approach for RDTSC_tick_rate works on all pc's I have available to test.
(I do not know what happens on processors that have a turbo boost or are over-clocked. If someone can test this I would like to know)

Unfortunately, for processor usage time, the CPU_TIME intrinsic is the best available, which has a refresh rate of only 1/64 second.
I would recommend to avoid all other timer routines.
