Hi,
So far I have pretty much completed the d3dx9_24 dll. However, while writing the
spec files I faced a few problems which I'd like to have solved befor submitting
the patch:
1. With the d3dx9_31 dll, microsoft removed three functions from the SDK. I'm
curious
what to do with them. Should I stub them at the first or last dll they're
used in? Also,
How should I handle the forwarding thing then? I'm importing d3dx9_36 in
each dll,
but need to import the dll containing the three functions, too (I'm just
asking to make
sure there won't be any collisions or conflicts or something).
By the way, the three functions are D3DXCpuOptimizations,
GetTargetDescByName
and GetTargetDescByVersion.
2. Another problem is, that many functions changed in there argument list from
one version
to the next one.
For example
http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/default.asp?url=/archive/en-us/directx9_c_Summer_04/directx/graphics/d3dxapichanges.asp
Says, that D3DXCreateFont changed the type of the D3DXFONT_DESC member
Height
from UINT to INT. I think (but don't know, so I ask) that this could lead
to a misbehavior in
some programs, as a UINT has a significant difference in the bit structure
to INT. Also,
the Angle parameter in D3DXSHRotateZ was changed from const FLOAT to FLOAT,
which
COULD also lead to problems.
3. Also, the MSDN seems to lack the info about D3DXGetTargetDescByName and
D3DXGetTargetDescByVersion. I'd be really gradeful if someone who has an old
version of the DXSDK installed could take a look into the headers and tell
me the
argument list.
4. And just to make sure, I attached the d3dx9_24 specfile. Everything but the
argument
types should be okay I think, but please tell me if you find any other
problems with it,
like typos in function names or something about the forwarding. Also, the
two
D3DXGetTargetDescByName/Version functions don't have argument lists yet
as I couldn't find resources about them.
That's it at the moment, I'll reply later to this topic if there appear new
problems.
Thanks for any answers, best regards
Tony
