I have completely reconstructed all of my header files to make sure I
have no duplicates, etc. I am currently using jump islands to get
around the 32k jump limit but it's getting tougher. So, I decided to
try and get multiple code resources to work with prc-tools 2.0 but I
am having no success, yet.
I have 13 source files (maybe I should have picked a luckier number),
each has a cooresponding header file. Before I began, I compiled
this application using the jump islands. It compiled, linked and
executed just like it is supposed to. I then made a copy of this
folder and began converting it to using the prc-tools section
attribute method.
Below you will see the grouping of the sections that I used. I added
the attribute macro to each header file and added the SECTION_* to
each function in the header declarations. Every function in each
source file was placed into it's own section with the exception that
the MyApp and MathLib were not modified (default section).
The program compiled, linked and installed without problems. But I
find that much of the application NOW does not work. I have tested
this under POSE and often, the program will just hang, without any
diagnostic information. Other times I will get an "illegal
operation, bus error" message from POSE.
I made NO code changes when making this transition, except to remove
all the CALLBACK_EPILOGUE and PROLOGUE. Although, I tested this both
ways first. I even continued to use jump islands, to guarantee that
there were no code changes.
The one functions that does not work correctly that is fairly simple
will be shown here. Maybe there is a clue there. What this function
is supposed to do and did before the attribute stuff was added, was
to write two rows of text labels across a form. The X location was
changed for each button. BUT what actually happens NOW, is that all
6 text labels are written at the same location in the leftmost
position. It's as thought the X is not bein calculated correctly.
labelNamePtr is a global array and fmod is a MathLib function.
Anyone have any problems why this would now stop working just because
of the multiple code resource stuff that was added. It's acting as
though fmod(i,6) is returning zero. Why would that happen, just
because of the multiple code resource changes?
void SetUserButtons(Int16 set) {
FormPtr form;
Int16 i, j, offset;
Char name[33];
RectangleType r;
r.extent.x = 22;
r.extent.y = 11;
form = FrmGetActiveForm();
SetTextColor(0xFF, 0xFF, 0, 0, 0, 0xCC);
for(i=0, j=12*set; i<12; i++) {
StrCopy(name, labelNamePtr[j++]);
name[4]= 0;
r.topLeft.x = fmod(i,6)*27+1;
r.topLeft.y = 40 + ((Int16)((i)/6))*15;
WinFillRectangle(&r, 0);
offset = 11- (Int16)(FntCharsWidth(name, StrLen(name))/2);
WinDrawChars(name, StrLen(name), r.topLeft.x + offset,
r.topLeft.y);
}
SetTextColor(OldFC.r, OldFC.g, OldFC.b, OldBC.r, OldBC.g,
OldBC.b);
}
Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what could be the
problem?
The stuff below relates to files on my PC.
The following section is a list of object modules shown
on my PC after the application was built, without using
the section attributes or multiple code resources. I
used this info as a sanity check on the code resources
shown on the palm using RsrcEdit. Don't know if they
are sane or not.
