PATCH_IF (SOURCE_SIZE > ~0x71~) ?
« on: February 08, 2016, 08:08:19 PM »
What is the result of the > operator when one of the operands is a string, as in the subject line here?

Also, would it be incorrect to enclose SOURCE_SIZE in %% in this case?  i.e. PATCH_IF (%SOURCE_SIZE% > 0x71)

When a string is used where an integer is expected, WeiDU evaluates it as a variable (unless it can be int_from_stringed, like the one in the title). Things like %SOURCE_SIZE% is and always (aside from possibly early versions of WeiDU) has been semantically equivalent to "SOURCE_SIZE" and has nothing to do with how anything works, just the fact that WeiDU's old LALR parser required you to use string delimiters.

Thanks.  So the expression in the subject line is valid and will work as intended (only patch files exceeding 0x71 bytes)?
