FIX: H2INC Version 1.0 Ignores /G3 and /G4 Option Switches

• Microsoft H2INC Utility for MS-DOS, version 1.0
• Microsoft H2INC Utility for OS/2, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

In version 1.0 of the H2INC utility, provided with Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) version 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0b, the /G3 or /G4 option switch does not change the size of an int from a WORD to a DWORD.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in H2INC version 1.0. This problem was corrected in H2INC for MS-DOS version 1.1 which is included with MASM for MS-DOS version 6.1.

MORE INFORMATION

Pages 436 and 440 of the "Microsoft Macro Assembler Programmer's Guide" for MASM version 6.0 document the /G3 and /G4 switches for the H2INC utility. As note above, H2INC version 1.0 does not implement these switches.

Sample Code

/* Command line options needed: /G3
*/ 
int my_var;

; Resulting .INC file
EXTERNDEF C my_var:SWORD    /* Notice it is not :SDWORD */
