Error in Multi-Segment application.
I declared a Char array variable, but when I tried to write data
to this variable, the PalmOS throws the next error:
APP(1,0) just read from memory location 0x302E0098 , causing a
bus error.
A "bus error" means that the application accessed a memory
location that is not in RAM or ROM, nor corresponds to a memory mapped
hardware register.
The function in where this error happens is in Segment2.
Thank you

Well, maybe transparency is /supposed/ to work all around is OS 3.5 and
later, but I've seen some OS4 devices that sometimes do not like 1-bit
transparent bitmaps. (IIRC, they were some of Sony's high-resolution
CLIEs,
and it happened only under certain--but not uncommon--conditions.)

Looks, like pilrc, doesn't calculate the size correctly. But I fear it
is not possible? Pilrc can't know, if you have density 1 or 2 on the
actual device and therefore don't know if to make the button 25 or 50
pixels. You better double the size of your bitmap for density 2.

do you know how horribly slow transparency is?
you should look at window copying and using the properties:
winPaint, winInvert, winMask, winOverlay
:) you'll find it will be a lot faster and, more efficient than using
the very badly written 'transparency' layer provided in the API :)
WinCopyRectangle(winMaskBitmap, WinGetDrawWindow(),
&rect, scrRect.topLeft.x, scrRect.topLeft.y,
winMask);
WinCopyRectangle(winDataBitmap, WinGetDrawWindow(),
&rect, scrRect.topLeft.x, scrRect.topLeft.y,
winOverlay);
for example.. this works on a *lot* of devices :)

> But it is on every one my clients use.
<sigh> Then that's fine, isn't it? However, I'm making a general point,
not a specific one on your application. Most PalmOS devices do not have
bar code scanners, agreed?
> Wrong again.
<sigh again> I'm obviously not very good at making a point clearly.
> Some do, some don't.
<sigh> And didn't I say that from the start? My point is that it is
often a knee jerk reaction to provide huge amounts of data on a PDA (not
just Palms). My experience is that this is done far too often. Sometimes
you can't avoid it, which is when I start recommending our customers use
the many logical records in one physical record technique.
> Quite a bit can be necessary actually
I know. I've written accounting systems. But I also know that is not
**usually** the case. Special pricing systems are normally not that
complex. On the other hand, I've seen some that are too complex to
really work on a PDA.
> 1) The customer is always right.
Bollocks. I've come across many customers who were wrong. How you treat
them when they are is another matter, but wrong is wrong.
> And in my field there *is* an advantage
<sigh> Fine. But in many fields there isn't, and/or syncs take a long
time etc. Arguing a general point from your one specific case is
misleading.
> It all depends on your target market. In my case, it is 100% of the
users.
<sigh> Of course!!!!!
> In my experience there is no contest. Use large record lengths.
And if you read posts on this and other newsgroups, you will see that I
have recommended that many times. However, there are also occasions
where that approach makes the software (both on the device and in the
conduit) very complex. Even in the simplest case of read-only data on
the handheld, it makes the PDA end more complicated. So if you can get
away with loading fewer records, I always recommend that as a first
choice.
Cheers,
Jim Cooper

Aaron,
thank you very much. The stuff with the mask sounds reasonable, but I
had never found it myself. Will give it a try. But at the end, even if I
will see if masking works faster and gives fine results, my opinion
about the transparency is still valid :-)

right, I always tried winOverlay alone, which doesn't produce the right

From the docs:

So you have to declare FlpCompDouble or use some recastings?

0.0 won't work... FlpDouble is a structure type. You should instead use
FlpCompDouble, which is a union of the FlpDouble and double types.
Assign
0.0 to the double part of the union, then pass the FlpDouble part of the
union to functions that need a FlpDouble.

PilRC probably should warn if the sizes for different members of a
bitmap
or icon family have sizes that don't match up. I'd be glad to look at
patches that added that behavior. I haven't checked, but I'd also
expect
that graphical controls should also have warnings if their label text is
anything other than a blank string, since the text would be thrown out
in
order to store the bitmap IDs.
However, I think the real issue is that AUTO width/height only works
when
you have text, and PilRC can use its internal knowledge of font metrics
to
compute the size of the button. Since you may not have defined your
bitmaps yet (they could even be defined in a separate file), it doesn't
necessarily anything to use to compute sizes.

how about:

Ditto (of course) with the prc-tools startup code for applications (but
replace "additional segments" by "additional code resources" -- that
terminology would IMHO be at least as accurate in the CW case too).
Most likely the resources which are being complained about are indeed
the application's extra code resources: they are the only resources that
are locked down before PilotMain() runs but not immediately unlocked,
which fits the symptoms Dominique is seeing. (I hacked a lock count
column onto a (crappy old) database viewer application of mine, which I
can send to Dominique if she likes, so she can confirm this. Or it's a
five minute job to add a quick and nasty check from within the app.)
However this does not necessarily indicate a problem with the startup
(well, shutdown :-)) code. More likely the application is accidentally
subverting that code.
The code in question [1] simply iterates over 'code' resources using
DmGet1Resource() and unlocks them until there are no more of them.
There is an obvious fragility here in that it is only looking in the
top-most resource database (and its overlays), and it won't find any
'code' resources to iterate over if your application is not top-most
[2].
Thus the easiest way to subvert the multiple code resources unloader is
to be using another resource database in your application and then to
leave it open when your application exits. Don't do that.
Perhaps Dominique's application is doing that?
Incidentally, assuming (and to be sure this is a big assumption :-))
that PalmOS_Startup.c (e.g. as reflected in the 5.0 SDK) really is the
startup code used by CodeWarrior, the CW runtime library uses
DmGet1Resource() in the same way and would be similarly subverted.
> Perhaps GDB is leaving the segments locked when it loads the app onto

Whether or not a GDB is connected has no effect whatsoever on how the
application is loaded or locked down.
John
[1] namely the function _GccReleaseCode() to be found in dreloc.c --
http://cvs.sf.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/prc-tools/prc-tools/crt/dreloc.c
[2] I suppose it would be possible to use DmFindResourceType() or so
to avoid this, but I'd prefer to avoid having to consider the
overlay
implications as long as humanly possible :-)

What's a FlpDouble? (Hint: look in FloatMgr.h.) Why do you want to
use it? IMHO it's best just to use surprisingly named types like
"float"
and "double", and to resort to careful use of the various elements of
FlpCompDouble when you want to use FlpBufferAToF() et al. But no
explicit FlpDoubles.

Warnings like this indicate that you haven't told the linker about a
code section named "section2". This would happen if you weren't giving
(both of) the outputs from multigen to the linker properly, or if your
definition file didn't list the right sections. If not for the other

Correct. I've considered passing .def files through the preprocessor,
but really it seems like more trouble than it's worth. I really don't
want build-prc to get into the game of running other programs. If one
really wanted to preprocess a .def file, it could be arranged manually
in one's makefile pretty easily.
Even if the SECT1 etc macros were available in the .def file, they would
expand to all that "__attribute__ ((section ...))" gobbledygook, which
is not what you want.

This is good advice. (You don't actually need the quotes here, but
there is certainly no harm in writing them.)

once again, graphical buttons are 3.5+ things :) i wouldn't use the AUTO
feature for the width/height of these buttons. you know the width/height
of your bitmap, so, why not just put them in?
if you want backward compatibility before 3.5, you just do an empty
button
and put your image over the top of the button. however, this will not
give
desired effects with 'inverting' of colors if your running on a color
device.
i dont believe the pilrc code is aware of the bitmap height/width when
it comes across a graphical button :) remember, its just an ID reference
:)

I thought you said from the start that large databases were never

reviewing the

Mea culpa.

I fully agree, and it is the same technique I use and recommend. My
whole
contention is that it *can* be sensible to have large databases,
although it may
be the exception rather than the norm. And you don't have to have long
sync
times to accomplish it.
As long as you are not contending the customer is always wrong if they
want a
large database, then I can agree the decision can be made on a case by
case
basis. While the application can get marginally more complex, it is not
a
significant issue because you just encapsulate the pseudo-"record"
handling
behind some functions where it processes a logical subset of a physical
record.

The package has more files, I guess? And you probably need more files
(if not to say all files) to build the whole stuff. Or if you only want
to use a small part of this lib, you will have to cut and paste the
right things together. Search the files for _fdlib_version. It's
probably something declared extern.

Nope... current versions of CW use PalmOS_Startup.cpp from the "CW for
Palm
OS Support" folder -- PalmSource really shouldn't be distributing old
runtime sources, but that's a different issue.
However, the code to release code resources is similar in the two

Ah... the CW debugger adds an additional lock on all the code resources
as
it loads them onto the device so it can fix the location of all the code
to
map to the SYM symbolics file and debug the same program across multiple
runs.

Palm OS 5 supports wireless technology, but everything it supports is
able
to use plain NetLib -- 802.11b, Bluetooth, GPRS -- or uses the SMS layer
(short messaging).
>Does Palm 5 have something else to replace it?
NetLib -- Greg Winton's book "Palm OS Network Programming" is an
excellent
tutorial/reference on that.
>If I use that new method, will it still work on the Palm VII/VIIx/i705?
No. Those devices require INetLib to go wireless, but its a dead-end
beyond the life of those devices (actually, its likely the Tungsten W
will
support it, but that's because its still a Palm OS 4.1 device, and it
will
support NetLib too).

Subject: Table custom fields can cause TblDrawTable to fail in Palm OS5
From: DeVon Fowler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Wed, 27 Nov 2002 08:55:06 -0800 (PST)
X-Message-Number: 37
Summary:
The custom draw routine initializes all table fields
as "customTableItem". The draw routine collects the
information to be displayed and calls a speciality
routine based on the required formatting. The
speciality routine creates a new field with specific
attributes, the field is drawn on the table, then the
field is destroyed. The FormPtr passed to
FldNewField() changes from x7602 to x7D94.
TableDrawText displays data successfully in the
correct table location when steped through in debug.
On return from the custom draw routine, DrawTable
(internal to TblDrawTable) produces an error as shown
below. Best guess is that the FormPtr change (from
x7602 to x7D94) is causing the problem. Looks like
TblDrawTable does not handle a changed FormPtr
gracefully.
Has anyone encountered this issue? Any ideas on ways
to resolve this issue in the port to Palm OS 5? Any

Rather than creating a new field, have a stored non-usable field on the
form. Move and resize it as needed to to your drawing, or just make
your
own code to draw multi-row text that uses the various font routines to
calculate the width of chars and where to wrap text.

It only gets lots more complicated where the records in the large
database can be added to on the device, and they need to be kept in
order. You're starting to look at b-tree type algorithms then. But I
must say I have very rarely come across that (there is a discussion on
the falch.net groups about this, I think). The conduit issues are just
frightening then, as you can't control the record order.

Gremlins directly inserts keyDownEvents into the event list... just have
a
handler that looks for this and if its not a command key, tosses the

Why do you need a high-resolution timer when the GUI and screen
refresh is running at the same rate or slower than the tickcount?
I remember some psychology experimenter who was trying to draw
graphics at single millisecond resolution ... onto a video monitor
with only a 60 Hz refresh rate.

If your app knows it's running on an m550/OMAP, you can also peek
at what seems to be a 32-bit 72 MHz counter from an armlet (32-bit
hardware register reads don't seem to work from 68k code under
PACE).

Hello.
I just picked up the palm programming again and I got a problem I cannot
solve. Pose reported the following message:
MyApp (2.0) called SysFatalAlert with the message:
"Form.c, Line:1762, Object #3401 in form #3600 is
missing".
I am not sure what happened. The object #3401 is a popuptrigger. I am
sure it is in the resource and I have not touched the code that deals
with it. All I did was spliting some other codes into several segments.
What's the best to find out the cause? I am using prc-tools with
pilrc 2.9.9
Thank you.

I need a source of cryptographic entropy. This has nothing to do with
GUI or screen refreshes. Take my word for it, I need a high-res timer.
Exactly how high-res is debateable, but certainly considerably more than
the 60-100Hz of TimGetTicks.

I've not researched ARMlets yet, but I had assumed this was the way to
go. Do you have any pointers to docs on how to access the exact
hardware registers in question?

This function works fine, and if you're just reading the string, getting
the resource via DmGetResource and then locking it and using the pointer
also works well.

I think your 'C' code is fine. They "#include sections.h" so the
compiler
knows what segments you want. You need to define these segments to
multigen
in the .def file. As John pointed out in this thread, even if you could
#include in a .def file, the expansion of SECT1 and SECT2 is NOT what
you
want. Please just replace as has been suggested below and see what
happens!
(As John pointed out, the " is not required, but doesn't hurt!). Make
sure
you have a line that reads:
multiple code {"section1" "section2"}

Any synchronous counter or timer is suspect as a source
of entropy.
How about using the sampled sound manager to listen to
the microphone for a few seconds (e.g. several thousand
samples of background noise) and using a strong hash
on that data as a portion of your entropy?
The OMAP 1510 manual does not appear to be publicly

You might want to try
#include <DLServer.h>
at the top of your source file. I think you'll find that
DlkGetSyncInfo appears 4.0 PalmOS Programmer's
API Reference around page 1082, suggesting that a search
of the PalmOS system headers might be advisable before
declaring that the code offered is "useless".

Thanks Domnique and John for your help.
I have changed .def file as you suggested but there are still problems.
Again I am asking, Is there need to declare all my functions with a
section?
(section1 or section2)
Like this:
void OpenDatabase() SECT1;
void CloseDatabase() SECT1;
In StartApplication() global function I am calling OpenDatabase() and in
StopApplication() I am calling CloseDatabase()
And StartApplication() and StopApplication() are not declared with any
sections, They are globals.
I am getting these errors:
main.c:146: undefined
reference to `frmMain_HandleEvent'
main.o: In function `StopApplication':
main.c:230: undefined reference to `__text__section1'
main.o:
In function `PilotMain':
main.c:265: undefined reference to `__text__section1'
In function `PilotMain':
main.c:265: undefined reference to `__text__section1'
main.o: In function `StartApplication':
main.c
:85: undefined reference to `__text__'
compile failed for segment 0
Amit.

Ah! These are compiler errors (not linker, as you had before). As I
understand it, you must declare all functions that you want in a
particular
section in the way that you have indicated it. I don't know why you are
getting those undefined reference errors. I can only suggest that you
carefully review the steps to multisegmenting in the documentation and
ensure that, in your makefile, that you (relace <appname> with your
application name):
1) Call multigen (this will create <appname>-sections.s).
2) Assemble the stub: something like m68k-palmos-gcc -c
<appname>-sections.s
3) When you link, ensure that you link with <appname>-sections.ld (which
is
generated by step 2).
Good luck!

Sorry - these may still be linker errors!
