an error in the AutoItConstants.au3 include file - (Moved)

[nacerbaaziz 15]

hello sirs

today i was reading the AutoItConstants.au3 file and i remarked that their is an error on the registry constenses

and here is the error

; Reg Value type Constants
Global Const $REG_NONE = 0
Global Const $REG_SZ = 1
Global Const $REG_EXPAND_SZ = 2
Global Const $REG_BINARY = 3
Global Const $REG_DWORD = 4
Global Const $REG_DWORD_LITTLE_ENDIAN = 4
Global Const $REG_DWORD_BIG_ENDIAN = 5
Global Const $REG_LINK = 6
Global Const $REG_MULTI_SZ = 7
Global Const $REG_RESOURCE_LIST = 8
Global Const $REG_FULL_RESOURCE_DESCRIPTOR = 9
Global Const $REG_RESOURCE_REQUIREMENTS_LIST = 10
Global Const $REG_QWORD = 11
Global Const $REG_QWORD_LITTLE_ENDIAN = 11
 

if you seen

the number 4 is repeated  also the number 11

here is the correction

 

; Reg Value type Constants
Global Const $REG_NONE = 0
Global Const $REG_SZ = 1
Global Const $REG_EXPAND_SZ = 2
Global Const $REG_BINARY = 3
Global Const $REG_DWORD = 4
Global Const $REG_DWORD_LITTLE_ENDIAN = 5
Global Const $REG_DWORD_BIG_ENDIAN = 6
Global Const $REG_LINK = 7
Global Const $REG_MULTI_SZ = 8
Global Const $REG_RESOURCE_LIST = 9
Global Const $REG_FULL_RESOURCE_DESCRIPTOR = 10
Global Const $REG_RESOURCE_REQUIREMENTS_LIST = 11
Global Const $REG_QWORD = 12
Global Const $REG_QWORD_LITTLE_ENDIAN = 13
 

i hope that you can correct that in the newest versions

thanks allot for your hard work.

accepting my greetings

Sorry, but your change is wrong. The original version is correct.

See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-rprn/25cce700-7fcf-4bb6-a2f3-0f6d08430a55

What is there to explain? It is pretty straightforward when you look at the linked page...no?

I mean more than a task that gives the same value, how can we differentiate them?

@nacerbaaziz Why do you insist in posting code without <>.  You have been told many times to do so...

Don't tell me you are sorry, don't call me dear, don't call me sir, just call me nine ! And tell me why ?

you dont, thats what "equivalent to REG_DWORD" means at the end of the description.  It is the same thing, doing the same thing.

 

For my edification:  How could specifying, retrieving, or even having cursory knowledge of all the magic_strings help in this case?  what is the end goal?

Ask Microsoft.
