Hi people! I have been hacking an example-translator (based on the run-translator) which uses io_read and io_seek. While the run-translator gave me the needed prototypes for those two, I can't find something like a header on my whole system. I have gotten around to notice that these protos somehow stem from hurd/io.defs, but have not been able to extract them. When applying mig on this file, I do get io_read, but the parameters passed are not the same. In fact, some are the same and you can easily spot that those two are related, but I can't figure out what to do with the rest.
A few notes/questions that crossed my way: - I would have looked for those prototypes in the hurd-dev package, to be exact in hurd/trivfs.h. Should I file a bug against this, is it a bug at all ? Of course I have found the functions themselves in the hurd soruces, but shouldn't hurd-dev be enough for me ? - invoking 'mig --help': there is a missing 'generates ' in the description - It seems that my translator 'overrides' the functions from libtrivfs, just like with virtual functions in C++, right ? Is there also a way to call the function provided by libtrivfs from my overridden function (like calling Base::function() in C++)? - what does the _S_ in the function-name mean ? thank you Uli
