It is in a while loop which *will* end, if the value returned by GetMessage() is not identically equal to `TRUE', (whatever that happens to represent). According to MSDN, (in my words):-- 1) If GetMessage() retrieves any message except WM_QUIT, it returns an unspecified non-zero value. 2) If GetMessage() retrieves a WM_QUIT message, it returns zero. 3) If GetMessage() faults, it returns -1. Presumably (2) will represent a `FALSE' return, which would not be equal to `TRUE', and (3) could presumably also cause an exit from the while loop. In the case of (1), what guarantee can we expect from Microsoft, that an unspecified return value will be exactly equal to our notion of `TRUE', or even that this unspecified value will remain the same, for all possible message types? In any case, the message text presented isn't particularly helpful, especially since it seems likely to emanate from some application which *isn't* an *official* MSYS component, and therefore, why should we care? Is there *any* *official* MSYS component which uses a GUI message loop? RXVT, perhaps? Anything else? Regards, Keith. |
