I'm not sure I understand why you are copying the results of the DateAdjust
to local variables that aren't used, but I'm guessing that you are trying to
step through the code with Poser to see what's happening. If you are using
CodeWarrior, the variables will likely appear to be messed up as you step
through the code due to some "optimizations" the compiler uses. Sometimes,
the only way to see what is going on during debugging is to add some "print"
statements, like the following:
static int calcAscension(int y, int m, int d, CharPtr result /* added */)
{
int temp;
int nmonth;
int nday;
DateType theDate;
DatePtr dp;
Char tstr[100]; // added
StrPrintF(result, "INPUT:(y:%i, m:%i, d:%i) ", y, m, d); // added
temp = y-1904;
dp = &theDate;
dp->year = temp;
dp->month = m;
dp->day = d;
StrPrintF(tstr, "DP BEFORE:(y:%i, m:%i, d:%i) ", dp->year, dp->month,
dp->day); // added
StrCat(result, tstr); // added
DateAdjust(dp, 4);
StrPrintF(tstr, "DP AFTER:(y:%i, m:%i, d:%i) ", dp->year, dp->month,
dp->day); // added
StrCat(result, tstr); // added
nday = dp->day;
nmonth = dp->month;
return temp;
}
This worked as expected on my computer: Pentium PC, CW 6, Poser 2.1d29
