GetFolders

[clamicun]

Hi JJ,
I bought me a new machine ... Windows 10 Home 64b
By coincidence I used an old prog which contains:

Let esi="C:\"
GetFolders esi   
mov .....

The prog goes down badly.

Works fine on drive D and E which are much smaller.

Any idea ?

What do you mean with "goes down badly"? It hangs, it throws an exception, ...?

On my Win7-64, I get over 100,000 folders without problems. I will investigate...

On Win10, Explorer chokes on a folder C:\Windows.old\WINDOWS\SOFTWA~1\Download\E6ED64~1\AMD64_~1.15\AM2F8C~1.15 _
Note the attempt to use DOS-style short names ::)

Hi Clamicun,

It seems I found the culprit. Can you test the attached exe and post the result?

Thanks,
Jochen


On my Win10 home machine:

Yes, it is C:\Windows.old which I do not succeed to delete ? ... MS is the owner of my new machine

I have to admit, I never understood the file.asc business.
This one in RichMasm.exe gives me:

POLINK: error: Unresolved external symbol '_stk_in'.
POLINK: error: Unresolved external symbol '_stk_out'.
POLINK: error: Unresolved external symbol '_stk_flen'.
POLINK: fatal error: 3 unresolved external(s).

I have to admit, I never understood the file.asc business.

The source does not build because it requires a debug version of MasmBasic.lib
I have solved the issue, new lib attached (temporary, for testing), to build it you have to comment out the stk_?? bits.

Thank you,
and btw.  I see Windows.old is removable with Disk Cleanup.
So the problem with GetFolders has vanished anyway.

Congrats ;)
But there was a buffer overflow risk, and you helped me find it, thanks :icon14:
Btw it seems many people had problems with that folder, the web is full of desperate people trying to delete Windows.old :P
