64 bit porting issue

Hi All,

The following code compiles for 32 bit

BOOL WINAPI WlxGetConsoleSwitchCredentials( PVOID pWlxContext, PVOID
pCredInfo )
{
BOOL bSuccess;
bSuccess = WlxGetConsoleSwitchCredentials ?
WlxGetConsoleSwitchCredentials(pWlxConte
xt, pCredInfo) : FALSE; // error is
occuring at this line
return (bSuccess);
}

but when i compile it with 64 bit MSSDK i am getting the following error:-

C-style cast or function-style cast
file.cpp(814) : error C4551: function call missing argument list
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'for' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

Any help in this regard would be of great help.

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Albert

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Did you mean to use a function name here? What's the point of it?

This can't be the actual code. WlxGetConsoleSwitchCredentials will always
evaluate to non-zero, since you are referring to the function being
defined. Thus, it will always take the first alternative, which results in
a recursive call to itself. This will loop infinitely until the stack
overflows.

Try again.

True.

True.

False.

Thus, false.

Could you elaborate on this one? Thanks.

I misread it. Of course it is a recursive call (taking the code at face
value).
