translateing c to autoit

[hibernate]

Hello!

I'm new to this forum to receive help and maybe I could help, too.

Actually I got a poblem by translateing a little C code to AutoIt.

I want to translate this C code:

uint modify(uint* Ptr)
{
    uint val = *Ptr;
    
    // modify
    val = val >> 7;
    
    return (*Ptr = val);
}

to Autoit.

I've tried it and I got the following result:

Func modify(ByRef $Ptr)
{
    $val = $Ptr

    ;modify
    $val = BitShift($val, 7)
    
    Return $Ptr = $val
}

Can anyone tell me if it is correct translated?

Thanks for help!

You are also new to AutoIt Welcome to the forums hibernate.

What you posted is a mixture of AutoIt and C. Curly brackets aren't used in AutoIt to enclose statements.

The next problem is that pointers to variables are more complicated in AutoIt than in C. To deal with them you need to study DllStructCreate. Have a look at that and then come back if you have questions.

Thanks for your fast help!

I will have a look over it and try it.

// Edit:

I changed some lines and now the function works as expected, thanks!

Result:

Func modify(ByRef $val)
    ;modify
    $val = BitShift($val, 7)
    
    Return $val
EndFunc

Why are you using both Return and ByRef?
