Re: [Dev-C++] GetDiskFreeSpaceEx Question

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

You might use the uliFreeCaller.QuadPart value, which is a 64-bit integer.

Or, if you know that the information is < 4GB, you have a 32-bit value in
uliFreeCaller.LowPart.

Note that since a HD normally is larger than 4 GB, you may not assume that
you might send the information to a function that only accepts a 'normal
integer value'.

A little improvement would be to Rewrite your function to assume space in
kB units, and then you call it with:
=09MyFunction(unsigned(uliFreeCaller.QuadPart / 1024));

That would be safe up to 4TB disks.
