    Rats.  I was hoping it was something in Raku's run string.

    Thank you for the CMD tip!

There is a bit in the executable that tells windows to open a terminal.

If you copy the executable to say rakudo_no_terminal.exe and change 
that bit in the copy, then Windows won't show you a terminal.


How/where do I change this bit?  Hex Edit?

I can see a lot of use for this!!


Thank you!

Hi Rudy,

I know you'd know the answer!  Thank you!

Do you know of a utility to do that for me?

Perhaps it is "Subsystem" field (inside the "Optional
Header Windows-Specific Fields (Image Only)" record
of

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/debug/pe-format#optional-header-windows-specific-fields-image-only

change 3 (IMAGE_SUBSYSTEM_WINDOWS_CUI) to 2
(IMAGE_SUBSYSTEM_WINDOWS_GUI)?

Ooops, wrong group

What is operand 152 and 160?

[ToddAndMargo via perl6-users]

Hi All,

Windows 10-1909 Pro

raku -v
This is Rakudo version 2020.01 built on MoarVM version
2020.01.1 implementing Perl 6.d.

Running my program I get this at a call to
a sub in a module:

 operand type 160 does not match register type
 152 for op decont_u in frame WinCreateKey

What is operand 152 and 160?

Many thanks,
-T

A cursory look around the MoarVM and nqp sources leads me to believe
that they're bitmasks describing conditions of operands somewhere in
the bytecode. 152 would be uint32 and 160 an uint64, without any extra
flags set for them.



Hi Tobias,

I do have a unint32 and a unit64 kicking around, but I
am not finding where I am mismatching them.  The hunt continues.

Thank you!
