Sb: #Maybe another C bug
|
|
Fm: Bob van der Poel 76510,2203
|
|
To: all
|
|
|
|
I have been playing around with Eric Williams spell-check programs from the UG
|
|
library. These programs were originally complied with the Introl_C compiler.
|
|
I've had to make a few minor changes in order to get things to work under the
|
|
Microware C compilier. But in the process (Mark, I am really hesitant to say
|
|
this!!!) I have discovered another bug in the compilier. It seems that if a
|
|
GOTO is done to a label at the start of a function (after all the declarations)
|
|
the stack pointer is not set up properly causing a drastic crash. Inserting a
|
|
line of BS code in front of the label solved the problem (as did rewriting the
|
|
code to avoid the GOTO entirerly), but I was wondering if anyone else was aware
|
|
of the this problem. If not I'll spend a bit of time on it to find out the
|
|
exact situations in which it causes the problem and post the results.
|
|
|
|
BTW, I have the spell program working and have been able to make drastic (about
|
|
seven fold) changes to the speed simply by changing from unbuffered to buffered
|
|
i/o. I hope to do some other things too and intend to post the entire package
|
|
when done. Any ideas, requests or suggestions?

Bob,
|
|
|
|
No need to try and avoid me Bob (grin). I didn't mean before to imply there
|
|
are NO bugs in the compiler, just that many people find things that don't work
|
|
as they think they should, say its a bug, and its really only the way they are
|
|
doing it.
|
|
|
|
You might well have found something here. I NEVER use goto myself, although
|
|
some of the code I use and have hacked upon does, so I leave it there since if
|
|
it works......
|
|
|
|
I think most people avoid goto like the plague so this has never shown up
|
|
before.
|
|
|
|
BTW: did you happen to notice the spell checker uploaded for the UG? It works
|
|
pretty well without any changes. Maybe it was never presented here.

I could believe the one about the goto--there's one goto-related bug that
|
|
survived for quite some time in the 68K compiler because people must not have
|
|
written just that sort of code before (it had to do with explicit gotos into
|
|
the body of a switch statement that had some auto variables declared in it).

Markly -

I believe William's spell checker WAS the one in the UG. I also had to make
|
|
changes when compiling it under MW C. Also, the GOTO bug is something that I
|
|
think has been recognized previously. I think James Jones has a better
|

description of it available.

That's good news on the speed increase! I use that spelling checker

All MM/1 developers:
|
|
|
|
These are a few of the things that I would like to see implemented on
|
|
the MM/1 -
|
|
|
|
o - device drivers that time out when I try to do a dir on a non-existent
|
|
drive, or print to a printer that's not on-line.
|
|
|
|
o - a screen print routine that would only require a 2 key combination to
|
|
print the contents of the current screen (text OR graphics).
|
|
|
|
o - a cut-'n-paste facility for any listable file.
|
|
|
|
o - a file browser to go with the above. Must be able to QUICKLY move thru
|
|
the file using the arrow/shifted arrow/pg. up/ own keys and additionally
|
|
to be able to 'M'ax to the top or bottom.
|
|
|
|
o - a file management utility similar in output to 'dir e', but with a
|
|
command line at each file to invoke Browse or Edit. The addition of
|
|
Move and Copy as options would be nice also, but not required.
|
|
|
|
o - a standardized Environment/Profile format where each app could go to
|
|
get the user's preference for screen colors, fonts, overlay colors, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
More as I think of them.

I just saw your sysgo upload, so you must be the one I should ask.
|
|
Is there an easy way to set environment variables in a C program.
|
|
I am writing a new login program and would like to set up the env
|
|
vars like the Microware version does. I am writing the new login
|
|
because Microware STILL DOESN'T ENCRYPT THE PASSWORDS IN THE PASSWORD
|
|
FILE ( are you reading this Microware???) I have an encryption routine
|
|
and have written SU to take advantage of it. One reason I nead encryption
|
|
is because I wrote CHOWN, CHGRP and SU which can take a usernumber or
|
|
a username on the commandline (it looks up the name to get the usernumber)
|
|
I have even passed on the environment to the new shell when using SU.

I use a somewhat hacked version of 'lmodem' I downloaded from BIX and have

had no troubles uploading and downloading. It only supports XModem/CheckSum. I
|
|
also have a separate XModem program (that does not have a 'com' mode - i.e. it
|
|
is like UNIX's umodem program). It too is only XModem/Checksum. I think I
|
|
also got it from BIX, but don't remember. I am using the stock serial driver
|
|

About the windows: I have had no problems with either installing it or

using them. I am using the latest edition (#19) so maybe that was part

of your problem. The only real reservations I have with using it is it

Hmm... mightn't F1 - help be a bit redundant? The Amiga Keyboard has a Help key

already, and I had thought that the 'AT' 101 keyboard did as well (?). Only

reason I point that out is that almost nobody uses the Help key.

If Sculpter is using a graphics window, you can use VEFIO to save the screen to

Zack,
|
|
Thanks for the QUICK reply :-) I have thought of doing that, but what I
|
|
really would like to do is figure out a way to locate the memory address
|
|
that Sculptor (or any other program for that matter) is using [text only
|
|
type screens] and then implement either an asm language or Basic09 sub-
|
|
routine to dump the screen in the background to the printer.

John - get WINFO.AR (if you don't have that already for VEFIO) and SPRINT.AR
|
|
both in Lib 10 here. Sprint will shoot the screen text (from a text screen) to
|
|
standard output. So you can "sprint /term >file" or "sprint /w1 >/p1" etc.

There is a program in the libs called WINFO which does that. It is used by
|
|
another program, VEFIO, to determine actual memory locations of video memory.
|
|
(Which, btw, is considered "cheating" because it makes your code very
|
|
un-transportable.)

Sysop- I've just purchased the OS9 LV.II w/ BASIC09 and am having serious
|
|
difficulty in running the BASIC09 program. Also, from a previous experience I
|
|
know to expect trouble from the GFX2 command.(loading and running) I'm running
|
|
on a COCO 3 w/128k and a single FD-502 drive. Any and all help would be
|
|
appreciated. Thanks. ---->GG

Hi George. Can you describe what kind of difficulties you're having in more
|
|
detail? That is, trouble loading basic09? Trouble running large procedures?
|
|
Setting up gfx windows? Or ? Any particular program example?
|
|
|
|
Since basic09 is in the CMDS directory on the second disk, you might pop that
|
|
disk in and type "load /d0/cmds/basic09" and then replace your boot disk in the
|
|
drive. Now basic09 is loaded into memory and should come up with "basic09" at
|
|
any time. You might have to load gfx2 and inkey the same way. best - kev

You failed to tell us just what the "difficulty" is. Do you get an error code
|
|
message? What happens that shouldn't happen?
|
|
|
|
Also, if you are serious about OS9, with there price of memory upgrades so
|
|
cheap, I stongly recommend you get a 512K memory upgrade.

Ken,
|
|
|
|
I noticed in the docs for your new touch utility you mentioned something about
|
|
a bug in RBF. I don't understand your reasoning behind this. If a user does
|
|
not have write permissions to a file, then they would not be able to write to
|
|
it, and therefore not have the ability to change the file date.
|
|
|
|
Can you explain further?

re 4317 ~ Bill, I understand the need for a message delimiter such as "#:". My
|
|
only problem is that in large message downloads the search routine for the
|
|
message delimiter "#:" doesn't appear quite rugged enough to stay on track. I
|
|
miss replying to messages because View misses the "#:" delimiter. I'm using
|
|
View right now and I had to go into Dynastar to remove all the characters from
|
|
the file which preceeded the "#:" of the first message. What I'm suggesting
|
|
is re-writing the search procedure so it can find the "#:" whether it is the
|
|
first character in the file, the fourth character, or the one hundredth
|
|
character. If the code were re-written to search for "#:" wherever it might
|
|
occur and not rely on it being the first character on the line might also help
|
|
make it more rugged for searching long message downloads. I might be getting
|
|
some line noise which moves the "#:" from the first character position and View
|
|
can't find it so it skipps the message. I'm just suggesting this because I
|
|
like the View program and would like to make it slightly easier to use.

Al,
|
|
|
|
Just guessing here, but if view treated _all_ occurances of "#:" as a start of
|
|
a vaild message you'd get some pretty unpredictable results.
|
|
|
|
Folks that include a copy of a message in the body of the one they're presently
|
|
writing would be one culprit. I'm sure there are other instances.
