I do it currently with the following code:
// asume that localIds in ROM are pointers
if (MemLocalIDKind(localId) == memIDHandle)
rom = false; else rom = true;
Is it reasonable to asume that the local id of databases in ROM are
pointers and the one in RAM are handles? Or will this break in any of the
existing versions of the OS? Does it break on a foreseeable future OS?
BTW: The asumtion that I really make is:
If the local id of a database is a pointer, then DmSetDatabaseInfo may
(will) crash (instead of returning an error) whereas it does work on
handle based databases, even if the dmHdrAttrReadOnly attribute is set.
