Josh,
Thank you very mush for the additional detail ! Sorry if I made you
feel that your doc's are not complete, that was not my intention.
I think your docs are fine except it assumes the reader already knows
how to set traps. Since you are suggesting that traps are error prone
unless TrapWeaver is installed I wanted to better understand the steps
required to install traps without TrapWeaver before I could make a decision
to use trapweaver. Your samle.c is helpful however if checks for the
trapweaver feature and if it does not find it it gives up so it don't help
me understand normal trapping. (Normal trapping is left as a self study
exercise ;-)
I also did not like having to pass the size of my routine to your
library although I guess I can live with that and I understand the need. It
seems easy to get wrong with bad results. I wonder if there is another way
for you to get the size of my routine ?
I would like to use trap weaver or even hackmaster however my problem
is the additional shareware registration needed for these two tools. I
have a few users of my app that want to incorporate it into their products
and forcing them to not only make a deal with me but also with the author
of another set of tools is too complex. I need my tool to be independent
in order to market it correctly.
I would love to have the safty of TrapWeaver but my clients don't want
the extra baggage, sorry... Your idea is great it is unfortunate that the
Palm OS does not just handle this itself. It would be great if you could
just add your trap in the PalmOS and have it automatically do what
TrapWeaver does.
