When you "declare" a function and its parameters, this declaration becomes the "signature" / calling hash of the function.
Ah, yes, I understand. I know what it is, but that's not what I thought it was meant. In Windows, the API functions are called by a number in a list. I thought you referred to this number changing or not. You can hardcode the numbers, or find them at runtime, if I recall correctly. AND, some, like M$, do not publish the entire list of available functions. Not even the, er... header definition, but nothing of what it does or how to use it. Secret functions. And some of these functions are absolutely needed to do important things, which this way, only M$ could do. Like the early explorer and desktop handler, which they were forced to disclose on court order. But once they publish a function, there is a commitment not to change it, probably ever. They create a new one with different name instead.
Hope this give the wanted info.
Absolutely, thanks. :-) I knew the concept, the problem was "language". The idiom. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
