I converted the Mail app from the PalmOS_5_SDK_68K_R3 to prc-tools, converting
the resources using both ptools to extract from the PRC and the open source
rsrc2rcp Perl tool (I would be happy to buy the commercial one, except I don't
have or ever want to have Windows).
It runs fine (palmos 4.1.2) - EXCEPT, when it is responding to
sysAppLaunchCmdSyncNotify. Then it gets a Fatal Exception, requiring a soft
reset. POSE says it is trying to access globals (and that is not allowed from
SyncNotify). I have been over and over the source, but I am new to Palm
programming, and don't see where it is accessing any globals. Besides, I would
have thought it was working code. I must have made a boo boo when converting.
The only thing I did to the C code was add __attribute__((section("lib"))) to
the functions not in Mail.c so that there aren't are reloc overflows.
How does one go about debugging the SyncNotify event? I can't seem to figure
out how to get control at the right time with gdb, and still have proper memory
map. I have no problem using gdb to debug sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch on POSE.
