Summary: windres problem

Initial Comment:
Just installed windres 2.12.90 hoping to resolve a 
problem I saw in windres 2.11.90 but it did not.

My RC code is:

IDC_MYACCEL ACCELERATORS
BEGIN
    "?",               IDM_ABOUT,   ALT            // error
    "/",               IDM_ABOUT,   ALT            //  error
    VK_F10,      IDM_RUN,        VIRTKEY
    "x",               IDM_EXIT,       ALT           // error
END

With windres is gives the following error for the lines
above marked //error :-

"inappropriate modifiers for non-VIRTKEY"


This code compiled fine with the Borland RC compiler.
Can someone advise me if this is a bug or is 
something wrong with my code.


Thanks.

So, Luke, should the warning persist?  Or, should this be patched to not issue the warning?

In windres rcparse.y:

	    if (($$.flags & ACC_VIRTKEY) == 0
		&& ($$.flags & (ACC_SHIFT | 
ACC_CONTROL | ACC_ALT)) != 0)
	      rcparse_warning (_("inappropriate modifiers 
for non-VIRTKEY"));

Apparently windres only allows modifiers like "ALT" for 
virtual keys (as opposed to ASCII characters). I think this 
is incorrect because my win32.hlp file has an example:

"B",   ID_ACCEL5, ALT                   ; ALT_SHIFT+B  
"I",   ID_ACCEL6, CONTROL, VIRTKEY      ; CTRL+I 

So I think this check in windres is incorrect, but it is in fact 
a warning not an error, and windres still produces an output 
file.
