PowerShell/PShell Get-Member formatting not the same as v35

Joe Caverly · 2026-04-05

In TCC v35, this is how Get-Member output is displayed using PShell,

Code:

E:\Utils>pshell /s "[AddClass] | get-member -static"


   TypeName: AddClass

Name            MemberType Definition
----            ---------- ----------
Add             Method     static long Add(long i, long j)
Equals          Method     static bool Equals(System.Object objA, System.Object objB)
new             Method     AddClass new()
PPP             Method     static double PPP(double ppk)
ReferenceEquals Method     static bool ReferenceEquals(System.Object objA, System.Object objB)



E:\Utils>ver

TCC  35.00.21 x64   Windows 10 [Version 10.0.19045.7058]

In TCC v36, this is how Get-Member output is displayed using PShell,

Code:

U:\>pshell /s "[AddClass] | get-member -static"
static long Add(long i, long j)
static bool Equals(System.Object objA, System.Object objB)
AddClass new()
static double PPP(double ppk)
static bool ReferenceEquals(System.Object objA, System.Object objB)

U:\>ver

TCC  36.00.17 x64   Windows 10 [Version 10.0.19045.7058]

Code:

PS E:\utils> [AddClass] | get-member -static


   TypeName: AddClass

Name            MemberType Definition
----            ---------- ----------

new             Method     AddClass new()
PPP             Method     static double PPP(double ppk)
ReferenceEquals Method     static bool ReferenceEquals(System.Object objA, System.Object objB)

Please make the output for Get-Member in TCC v36 be the same as it is in TCC v35,
that is,
the same as output for Get-Member is in PowerShell.

PSHELL in v35 and v36 share exactly zero lines of code.

I am not going to delay releasing v36 by (several?) months trying to create byte-for-byte formatting compatibility with a deprecated dll that was broken anyway in recent Windows builds. The choice here is either to include the new Powershell interface code in v36 and gradually improve it, or drop Powershell support entirely (which was my original intention for v36).

I cannot attempt to reproduce your formatting issue here, because Powershell doesn't know what [AddClass] is:

Code:

PS C:\Users\Rex Conn>  [AddClass] | get-member -static
InvalidOperation: Unable to find type [AddClass].

I am not asking for compatibility "with a deprecated dll that was broken anyway in recent Windows builds"

I'm asking for compatibility with PowerShell.

Sadly, 100% PowerShell compatibility is the lowest priority issue on my to-do list for v36. I will try to improve it down the road when I have free time.

The choice right now is "fair-to-middling Powershell compatibility" vs. "No Powershell support".

Fully agree.

Try get-member with build 19 and let me know if it's working for you.

Looks good so far!
