What's the difference between 'v' and '' for NCI function parameters?
There isn't any, except the extra 'v' char.
I ask because both 'fv' and 'f' are in src/call_list.txt
Yeah.
In fact there are several 'duplicated' signatures:
[ ... ]
I'd say, we should drop all the '?v' variants. The extra 'v' doesn't
cover any information, it's just causing an init call to the argument
passing code.
Those warnings come from a version of tools/build/nativecall.pl I've
modified to 'normalize' the signatures to use 'v' and detect duplicates.
(As a side effect the nci.o file dropped from 354K to 347K.)
Good. But as said, I'd prefer the shorter signature.
Also, what's the protocol for adding signatures to call_list.txt?
I've at least one I want to add ('p ttttitl' for mysql_real_connect)
and may have more soon. Should I just post a patch here?
Yep.
Tim.
Thanks for looking into this,
