strange getch+keybhit beheaviour

In the following code something strange happens ! If I keep pressed any
of ALT+Arrow, keys, they are extracted two times from buffer then getch
seems to stop; if I release and press again ALT+arrow nothing changes:
the only way to exit from this condition is press another key a single
time.
What seems to happen is that kbhit say some keys are present in buffer
but for getch don't see any data and waits for a key. Why this happen ?
If I remove the delay all is working correctly. I've inserted a delay
to reproduce thi problem that I've found on another bigger project
where loop delay is 155ms.
Last thing: I've verified this problem only on newer motherboards !

Please help me !!
Thank you.
Simone
#include <stdio.h>

vv= reg.x.ax ;
lo = vv & 0X00FF;
hi= ( vv & 0XFF00) >8;
vv=( ((lo == 0)|(lo == 224)) ? hi+256 : lo);

There is no point to posting the same query three times in two

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
