I see the common Linux port names got added to Synaser (trunk) but the BDS variants (https://sourceforge.net/p/synalist/bugs/21/) wasn't added. I've also just noted a typing error in GetSerialPortNames: '/dev/ttyAM*' should rather be '/dev/ttyACM*'' On Thu, Aug 17, 2017 at 3:45 PM, Graeme Geldenh

I suppose you have to allocate memory and create a pointer to a pointer to this memory which you pass to the function. On 16 Apr 2017 4:58 PM, "fredvs" wrote: > Hello. > > A C method is defined like this: > > MPG123_EXPORT int mpg123_icy(mpg123_handle *mh, char **icy_meta); > > and translated in

There is a lot of useful information in avr-gcc code, once you can see past the peculiarities of C. See the implementation of avr-gcc's delay here: cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/avr-libc/include/util/delay.h and delay_basic.h in the same folder. Basically they use op codes with fixed cpu cycles to co

[fpc-pascal] Adding USB library to FPC

I have seen several header translations of the various libusb variants (0.1, 1.0 & win32) scattered on the web and forums. I have also noticed several dead links, a typo or two and some missing function declaration in some of the available pascal translations. Would it not make sense to include a
