Re: wrong calculation in codewarrior
As a quick fix, you may want to try int size = 4 bytes. it defaults to 2. look in settings. All these issues you are having relate to basic C programming questions. You should google for a guide to C type conversions etc. Alan On 16 July 2010 06:38, codemaker wrote: > Thank you all for your contribution.

Re: Can part of a PRC be optionally loaded by user?
I have a "Root" object which our system's only global pointer and is used to access all parts of our handheld framework. It's then easy to store a pointer to this class in a feature, then use it in any shared libraries. I suppose I could pass it as an argument to the shared library, but I felt that using a feature to pass it provided better backwards/forwards compatibility if I decide to pass different data down the track.

Re: PalmOS Floating Point Limits
Does anyone know why some programs use an external floating point library (mathlib.prc) when the PalmOS 2.0 an up supports up to 64 bit floating point arithmetic directly?? Is there some problem with the Palm floating point functions? Also, the PalmOS Programmers Companion says that you can just use standard mathematical symbols for all this... Does this mean that this would work fine: #include "NewFloatMgr.h" // Note: I'm using SDK3.0 FlpDouble a,b,c; a=2.0; b=3.0; c=b*a; So would this work correctly?? I always thought that C required floating point numbers to be calculated using functions? Also, where can I find out about the precision of these Double Floats (i.e. the biggest number they can handle, etc?) The Palm manuals make no mention of this. (I guess they're presuming that we're all die-hard C guru's who know it off the top of our heads..?)

Re: Access to Knowledge Base
I have done a little more research into this problem. All users who can't get to port 8080 because of the firewall, simply set your proxy server to one of the below public anonymous proxy servers. Then all outgoing HTTP connections are to port 80 on the proxy, and the proxy only has to worry about Palm's port 8080. Set your proxy server to PORT 80, and the server address as one of the below: 142.169.242.4, or 164.124.250.226, or 168.126.72.10, or 168.126.72.12, or 168.126.72.13, or 168.126.72.26, or 168.216.147.130, or 169.133.1.51, or 192.117.238.94, or 193.89.27.199, or 194.140.17.130, or 194.213.91.6, or 194.239.178.252, or 195.37.223.225, or 195.74.0.28, or 198.161.26.2, or 198.161.26.33, or 198.161.26.65, or 200.1.161.59, or 202.30.245.3, or 202.39.143.5, or 203.103.174.194, or 203.108.181.62, or 203.144.250.66, or 203.241.162.32, or 203.37.184.60, or 203.41.7.130, or 204.140.188.5, or 204.211.154.142, or 204.211.154.144, or 205.134.211.44, or 208.196.150.4, or 209.121.142.2, or 209.20.42.6:3128209.5.107.10, or 210.172.76.30, or 210.8.56.1, or 210.96.52.1, that's it!

More Float Problems...
I'm using SDK3.0, and NewFloatMgr.h. This line of code:
FlpCompDouble amount;
amount.fd = FlpAToF(".00");
should assign a double precision value of .00 to amount, but when
read back using FlpFToA, it reads 2989542.08. What's going on?? Any ideas??

I think I know what you mean. I have dug a bit deeper into my code, and

".00" on the end it doesn't work.

you can break your string in half and convert each half to floating point.
If you adjust the exponents properly, you should be able to make this work.

Re: OS 3.5, listboxes with large amounts of data
At last a breakthrough!! I have a pretty good workaround for the "OS3.5 Large Lists" bug!! BTW: If David Fedor is reading this, I'd really appreciate confirmation that this IS a bug, and that my suggestion is an acceptable workaround. This is the type of code that buggers up under 3.5: LstSetTopItem(listPtr, index); LstEraseList(listPtr); LstDrawList(listPtr); So just replace it with this... LstSetTopItem(listPtr, index - 12); LstScrollList(listPtr, 1, 12); Obviously you have to check that your index is not less than 12 to begin with, but if it is, the normal drawing code works anyway so who cares? Let me know if this fixes your problems. I know it's fixed mine.

(your app) called SysFatalAlert with the message : "Field.c, Line:2770, Invalid isertion point position". Both of these errors can be caused by called FrmCustomAlert if the resulting error message (after substitution of your passed in strings) ends with a "\n" char.

Re: Vista and CW9.3
I recently upgraded my laptop to Vista to see what all the fuss was about, and found Codewarrior to be running just fine. Debugging into an emulator works too. As soon as I get a chance, I'm going to be wiping the HD, and re-installing XP. Vista runs like a dog on my Laptop. It might be because it was never a clean install, or it may be because my computer is so old (18 months), but it's at least half the speed it used to be. I'd suggest avoiding Vista unless your PC is brand new, and comes with it pre-installed. Oh, and UAC is bloody annoying... It blocks Hamachi from auto-starting, and brings up messages every time I try to run VS2003 or VS2005.

Re: palm .net frame work
It can not be done. There is no .net runtime for the PalmOS. There is currently a project underway to develop one, called upCLeaR. Google for it, and you'll be able to read more about it, but it is only in the early stages of development at the moment, so don't hold your breath. You could also look into AppForge. They have some sort of .Net abilities for the Palm, but I think it's done through some sort of cross-compiler, so it's not really a .net runtime.

A few thoughts then... - Have you tried runing the app on a simulator? - Have you tried Gremlins, even though it appears to work well on POSE...? - Have you got all the POSE debugging options checked? - Have you tried POSE with both a Debug and Release Rom? - Rather than an Alert in the pilot main, try a BEEP api call. hope this helps..

Frameworks for porting PalmOS to PPC
I'm after a bit of feedback on PalmOS to PPC porting. We've written a PPC version of one of our apps before, but last time we just re-wrote it using .NetCF, which had the drawback of being painfully slow, and didn't have any shared code. This time I was thinking of using MFC, and trying to push as much code as possible into device independant C++ classes, with other classes dedicated to a DAL (mainly for IrDA, Database Abstraction, and other such things) therefore being able to share a majority of code between Palm and PPC. I guess the nastiest part of this porting project will probably be the UI code, because I figure it will still have to be written twice. I'm after opinions on whether MFC is the way to go, or should I be looking at another 3rd party framework. Are there any frameworks which lend themselves to Palm-PPC cross platform work? (Note that we already have a very large PalmOS codebase in C/C++, so AppForge or other RAD-style cross platform development tools aren't really an option.)

Re: Shameless plugin: upCLeaR
I think trying to support .NET on a 68k processor, while a good learning excercise etc, will be pretty nasty. It's never going to provide enough speed for anything beyond a hello world style app. Consider the speed .NETCF on a 400mhz PocketPC; it's pretty slow.

Re: Shameless plugin: upCLeaR
Are you planning to use chunks of code from PNet or Mono where you can, or just re-writing the entire thing from scratch? It's ging to take you a hell of a long time if you're going to write everything from scratch. Are you suggesting that because you're interpreting the CIL atm, you'll implement pseudo-threading within the CLR? I'd suggest making use of the SD card to store the assemblies, rather than packaging them into PRC files. Most palms have SD these days.

E2 Hotsync Problem
After using a Serial cable to print to a serial printer, I cannot hotsync my E2 to a PC though the usual USB cable.The solution seems to be, 1) Plug the USB cable into the Palm, 2) Unplug the USB cable 3) Plug the cable back in, then press the hotsync button. It seems to be a problem with either PalmUSBD.sys, or the Palm E2 internals.

Re: Newbee question - linked lists
That's because you're setting current to point to the memory location,
then unlocking that location. It *will* work, but you need to assume
that only it's handle is unlocked, the memory is not longer allowed to
be accessed. Plus, keep in mind that once you *do* lock the memory
again, it may have moved, so make sure you set current to point to the
return value of the lock statement.
You should be storing Handles in your linked list, then locking them
to get the next node not pointers.
If this is all too hard for you, just stop using handles altogether.
Just use MemPtrNew and MemPtrFree. Newer devices have a fair amount
of memory.
Another suggestion may be to switch to using C++, then you can
abstract away the memory handling (whichever way you chose to do it).
<- this would be my preference, altough I've never really used linked
lists much.

Check your code paths. What you're seeing is a definite result of
mismatched locks and unlocks.
You're locking the handle more times than you're unlocking it.
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
{
MemHandleLock(mh);
MemHandleUnlock(mh);
}
Works fine. That's 1000 locks.
Check all possible code paths. You're missing something really obvious.

The OS cleans up the extra junk anyways. Is there > a real technical reason that we would need to get rid of all memory leaks? You're kidding, aren't you?.. Sure, the OS will clean up once your app shuts down, but the OS does not have any garbage collection per se, so if your app is running for a long period of time, it could eventually chew up all system resources (depending on the location of the leak, etc.) If your app has memory leaks, it's a coding error. Just fix it. The emulator logs make this pretty damn easy too. Alan -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

The problem lies with the OS5+ implementation of the DlkUserInfoHdrType struct. Now I've had time to think about it, and considering Aaron's comments, I'd say the the problem isn't that the definition of the structure has changed, but the structure is not an ARM native structure, which cannot be (easily) used from within 68k code. This would (probably) explain the extra 6 bytes in the struct, as will as the version num,ber change from 0x0102 to 0x0201. (ie: Endian changes.).. What's really needed (for me, at least) it a way of reading this structure, and parsing it to/from it's OS5 stored (ARKM NAtive?) format, and the format the SDK dictates it should be in (when read from m68k code).

Re: CW9.3 Browser Coloring a bit sporadic
Did you select "syntax coloring" from the Document Settings menu?
If it's not this, then you're simple encountering a known bug in the syntax
highlighting code in CW. This bug is not fixed, and there is no workaround.
Alan
"Randy Pulsifer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message
news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have a header file with a number of structures, typedef's - the usual sort
of stuff and for the longest time the browser coloring never worked on
anything defined in this particular header file. It worked on other .h files
that I had created but not this ('natch this is my main header file). Then
one day it started working. I could not match this good fortune with any of
my upgrades to the various patches (I am presently up to V9.3 Pro.), and so
shrugged and kept going. Today, I edit said header file and simply add a
fourth element to an existing structure and now when I build, the coloring
has disappeared - as well, of course, as has the dropdown lists of the
elements in the structure.
Anyone with any clues, or workarounds? Do header files have to have an even
number of lines or something? That's not it, I checked - in fact, I went
directly back into the file and deleted the element I added and the file's
coloring remains black. Any other ideas?

Re: .NET Support.
That's my point; there are already two .NET engines out there, Mono and DotGNU. They just need porting to PalmOS. I'm fairly sure it's going to be nightmarishly difficult to implement, but much of the work has already been done. FYI: The DotGNU codebase can already compile on the gcc-m68k toolchain. It's just the linking stage which barfs due to PalmOS 64K limits. It's also possible to Compile the codebase using tools. I'm really not sure how far I'll get with this, as I don't know GCC/Cygwin etc very well at all, but I'm a reasonable competent PalmOS developer (CW User normally), so I'm going to give it my best shot.
