I believe that this is due to the lack of callback prolog macros.
You are using GCC, aren't you?� (CW doesn't require the prolog
for callback functions).� These macros do something the A4 register
so that GCC can access the globals.
�
Try this:
static void handleEvent(EventPtr event)
{
#ifdef __GNUC__
����CALLBACK_PROLOGUE
#endif
��� static ControlPtr penDownCtl;
��� penDownCtl = NULL;
#ifdef __GNUC__
����CALLBACK_EPILOGUE
#endif
}

Subject: Desk Accessories and static variables
Hi,
The strangest of bugs has crossed my path. I'm writing a desk accessory, and
I was getting a 'Privilege Violation' *after* my desk accessory *and* the
running application quit. After commenting code to isolate the problem, I
concluded it was caused by a static variable inside a static function. The
smallest code snippet that caused an error was like this:
static void handleEvent(EventPtr event)
{
��� static ControlPtr penDownCtl;
��� penDownCtl = NULL;
}
If I remove the static qualifier or the assignment, there's no error.
Can anyone explain this? It's just for curiosity. I have already solved the
problem without a static var.
