I think I skipped the talk... probably not intentionally, but a side effect of Palm scheduling too much good stuff for the last day. I seem to remember you conflicting with David Fedor's talk on Palm Debugger, but we probably argued about it up at the lab the night before. The main things I remember about PalmSource 2000 were AutoPond swap sessions, hacking on VChat way too late into the night, riding in the AppForge Booster PT Cruiser, the not-quite-open-yet Hilton, and the Omnisky marketing girls passing out the party cards (where is OS now? :) ---- Anyway, its hard to tell who wins on the segment access. PRC-Tools generates less data to link segments together (good), but requires an extra two instructions to add the offset and then do the indirect jump (although the run overhead is just one extra instruction, since we do two jumps). The CW way uses more space on the heap, but it allows us to alter instructions in the linker to support intersegment jumps without having to know about it at compile time, since the code size doesn't change. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
