Re: memory leaks vs. unallocated chunks
For anyone who might be interested or doing a similar function, my problem was in AddPickedItem, where the very first item of the dynamic list was set. ( pickedListStringP.stringListP=itemToAdd;) Because I was doing this by pointer, when the second item was added, the first list was freed, thus unintentionally freeing itemToAdd as well, which was a pointer to an item in another list. So two things were getting deallocated without my knowledge, and since the only time the program crashed was when I added more than one item to the list, I (mistakenly) assumed the problem was in the addition of items after #1. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

Doug, No; it is the opposite problem. He wants to *prevent* his code from being interrupted by another task. Ok. Understood. He wanna put it in a critical section kinds stuff. Rite? He is looking for a mutex (mutual exclusion) type facility, so other tasks or threads (of which there are precious few) cannot interrupt him as they are now.

WinScreenMode causing a callback or a notification?
Hi All,
Got a strange problem here, and I'm racking my brains to figure out
where it all goes pear-shaped.
I'm using Falch.net's DevStudio, with the latest multi-segment patches.
I have these global variables:
RectangleType dispRect;
UInt32 swidth, sheight, sdepth;
Boolean coloron;
Later on, I have this function:
void funcname(...)
{
UInt32 scrwidth, scrheight, scrdepth;
Boolean scrcolor;
Err err;
[...]
// at this point swidth x sheight x sdepth x coloron is 320x320x8x1
scrwidth = swidth;
scrheight = sheight;
scrdepth = sdepth;
scrcolor = coloron;
err = WinScreenMode(winScreenModeSet,
scrwidth, scrheight, scrdepth, scrcoloron);
// at this point swidth x sheight x sdepth x coloron is 160x160x8x1!
[...]
}
The strange thing is that the locals scr* aren't changed in the call to
WinScreenMode, but the globals s* *are* changed. Even stranger is that
the global dispRect is also set to be {{0,0}{160,160}}.
The only three reasons I could come up with that could perhaps cause
this were
1) compiler optimisation errors
2) A notification or callback that my code is mangling somehow.
3) Something I don't know about (*grin*)
#1 was easy enough to test for...I've turned off all optimisation in my
code.
Can anyone suggest where to RTFM about either #2 or #3 to learn more?
-Ken

For this to be possible, Palm Source offers a service on their web-page to reserve such a CreatorID for YOUR use.

RE: fatal exception on switch off with SysLibRemove on Net Libref
In general one shouldn't remove a library if one didn't load it. The Net lib is
loaded by the
OS, so you'll typically Find it using SysLibFind and you won't need to SysLibLoad it
(and therefore,
shouldn't SysLibRemove it).
The real question is why SysLibFind isn't finding the network library... My guess is
that you've reset
the device with an Up-arrow reset and extensions haven't been loaded.
Because the net lib is typically loaded at startup by the OS, many applications may
make some assumptions
about it being around - assumptions you may be breaking by removing it.
Hope this helps,

Subject: fatal exception on switch off with SysLibRemove on Net Lib ref
Hi,
I'm having a weird problem, where on a Palm Vx I get a fatal exception when
I switch the handheld off. On the emulator, this is reported as random
applications (not mine) trying to access address 0x.
I have narrowed it down to a call to SysLibRemove of a reference to Net
Lib. If this call is present, then the exception happens. If it isn't,
nothing goes wrong. (The code is at the end of the message). The library
works fine if I use it through the reference obtained. The call to
SysLibFind is failing, so it's using SysLibLoad to open the library.
Even if all the application does is open the library, and then close it at
the end without doing anything with it, this happens. I have tried linking
in the NetSocket library, but it doesn't seem to make any different.
I'm writing the software in C++ using gcc and the prc-tools, with a
multi-segment program (although all functions which access the library are
in the default segment). Exceptions and RTTI are switched off. The problem
also occurs in a simple adaption of an example program, compiled as a
single segment program.
I'm very puzzled, and as someone a bit new to Palm development unsure of
what to try next. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben

RE: MemSemaphoreReserve ????
The kernel has event synchronization capabilities, but as has been mentioned, the build of the kernel in Palm OS is specifically created to have only the resources required by the Palm OS tasks, and so trying to create additional tasks, semaphores, mutexes, etc. will eventually cause problems for the OS when the tasks for which those resources are intended tries to use them. Way back when I was involved with a project to put a Motorola pager on the PalmPilot. I had the pleasure of working within a license of the Kadak kernel and a special build of Palm OS to do just the things you guys are talking about. It was quite interesting to actually create tasks and do multitasking on the Palm OS! But alas, the pager card never quite made it in the market (a bit ahead of its time).

PilRC has been of the fairly straightforward variety.
Thanks,

Re: Codewarrior 9, PilRC, and Resources

I'm in the process of converting some .rsrc style

I do have a bit of confusion about one thing, however.
In the mac
resource world we are able to define arbitrary
resource types in (by
convention) .r files. IE:
type 'Ttst' {
unsigned longint;
};
I beleive the rez is responsible for turning this
notation into an
actual resource entry.
How do I achieve the same thing when Rez is no longer
in the picture?
You just directly create resources in your RCP file using the DATA or HEX
commands. You can't create a format template for your resources; you just
directly specify the binary data.
For this, you'd say something like
HEX 'Ttst' ID 1000 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x02
(check PilRC docs for more info)

[OT] PrintBoy question
This is a bit off topic, but due to the overwhelming amount of knowledge possessed by the people who monitor this NG I figured I would throw this question in to the mix. We use the printboy SDK to do IR printing in our product. PrintBoy has been pretty responsive to us and has made improvements to the SDK to allow seamless printing (and configuration) without ever leaving our app. With the popularity of WI-FI we decided to do some testing using printboy's own software to print a memo from the palmos memo app. We have had zero luck getting a single page out of our printer. We have combed their website and NG for info and it seems that everyone is having zero success actually printing via a TCP/IP connection. My question is, has anyone actually seen this work? I wonder if anyone knows what the underlying protocol printboy is using to talk to the printer. We have a printer here that has a JetDirect card in it as well as print servers that support LPR (on another printer). Does anyone know how printboy is attempting to connect to the printers? We see our print server's busy light flash very quickly and printboy acts as if it successfully printed the job, however, nothing happens. Again, my apologies for posting this here, but printboy's NG has not responses on posts that are very similar to this one.

Re: uncompressing bitmaps
what I do is create an empty bitmap that is big enough to uncompress into, copy the data in, and then call BmpCompress with BitmapCompressionTypeNone. Nothing jumps out after a quick read. I use similar code and it works for me. Sorry that doesn't help much.

Retrieving AP's MAC address.
I am working on an application for the Tungsten C palm device and there is a point where my application needs the MAC address of the AP that is currently associated with the radio device, or in this case the Tungsten C. I have installed the PalmSG_SDK.exe, from pluggedin.palm.com site, and previously I have installed the Palm OS 5 SDK (68K) R2. I am using the function NetLibIFSettingGet with the parameter netIFSetting80211AccessPointBSSID, as per the Palm_OS_Reference.pdf. But on each execution, of the NetLibIFSettingGet, I am receiving a System error of unknown setting (0x1281). I have used other params, such as netIFSettingActualIPAddr and other's with no problems, it only seems that the params declared in the 'New Settings as of PalmOS 5.1 of the NetMgr.h file are not being recognized by the NetLibIFSettingGet function. Is there something somewhere I am missing? What library has the implementation for the NetLibIFSettingGet function? I have followed both the automated and manual instructions for updating my CodeWarrior with the proper files as per the Palm OS 5 SDK (68K) R2 upgrade and the PalmSG SDK. Maybe I am missing something simple or something that is not documented, but any suggestions at this point would be greatly appreciated. Any sample code using the netIFSetting80211AccessPointBSSID param?
