Sorry, left a major one off my list of 'C' wrappers that have errors.
Here is the revised list:
iop_flim
sms_sevt
sms_wext
wm_rptrt
Jim
I thought Jim was saying that there were errors in the GD2 routines. In fact I tested these about two year's ago and they seemed OK then.
The items Jim has listed as containing errors are not GD2 after all! However, since I promised to look into these I will now report.
iop_flim
The code for this is very simple and seems to contain no errors. I tried it in a C program and found that it worked. So what is the problem here?
sms_sevt
The program here is also very simple:
MOVEQ #$3A,D0
MOVE.L 4(A7),D1 destination job ID
MOVE.W 6(A7),D2 events to notify
TRAP #1 do it
RTS
I didn't try it, but what is wrong with it?
sms_wext
The program for this is as follows.
MOVEQ #3B,D0
MOVE.L 4(A7),A1 address containing events to wait for
MOVE.B (A1),D2 this moves the top byte of (A1) to D2
(we must hope that the top byte IS the event byte!)
MOVE.W 6(A7),D3 timeout
TRAP #1 do it
MOVE.L 4(A7),A1 retrieve the address for the event byte
M0VE.B D2,(A1) push the events causing the return -> (A1)
RTS
Provided the top byte of the address sent to the routine contains the event byte this looks as though it will work.
Unfortunately D3 is not preserved. As I understand it D3 may be used to hold data by C68 and so should be preserved.
A better program might be
MOVE.L D3,-(A7)
MOVEQ #$3B,D0
MOVE.L 8(A7),A1 4 added because of the saving of D3
MOVE.B (A1),D2
MOVE.W 10(A7),D3 " "
TRAP #1
MOVE.L 8(A7),A1 " "
MOVE.B D2,(A1)
MOVE.L (A7)+,D3
RTS
If the return from sms_wevt is to be the error code we perhaps should also add
MOVEQ #0,D0
before the RTS since sms.wevt returns no errors (but does it clear DO?).
wm_rptrt
It is clear from the coding that no-one except Jim has attempted to use wm_rptrt. I give the code below and you will see why.
MOVEM.L D2-3/A4,-(A7)
MOVE.L $10(A7),A4 1st parameter - pointer to working defn
MOVE.W $14,D3 Hmmmmmmmmmmm!!!
MOVE.W $16,D2 Hmmmmmmmmmmm!!!
MOVEQ #$78,D0
JSR wm_chkv get the vector
BMI.S L oops - no vector
JSR (A0,D0,L) do wm_rptrt
TST.L D0 OK . . .
BMI.S L . . . no
MOVE.L A0,D0 channel ID to be returned
L MOVEM.L (A7)+,A4/D2-3
RTS
The two lines with "Hmmmmmmmm!!!" are missing the (A7) which rather spoils the program.
If I were changing this code I might consider NOT preserving D2, since it is only used by C68 as a scratch register.
I hope this is of help to some. And also that Dave Walker is listening in.
Cheers
George
