Mirek's message #4924 "PocketPC conquered...."
I am happy to announce that the hard part of PocketPC support is finished - I was able
to run most of "examples" on my PDA (interestingly, without any changes to the examples code,
just compile&run).
Now of course, a lot of issues remains to be resolved, starting with right click emulation etc....
but the core work is already done.
Mirek
P.S.: Somebody to donate OSX capable PowerPC Mac?
gives cause to update my web site. So:
What is the current state of the Linux, UNIX, MacOS, ... portings?

Well, I might have missed something, but if they are in the C++ code, could you list them please?

Nah, usual porting things when it's Linux coders  .. lets see if I remember.
loff_t=off_t
lseek64=lseek
ftruncate64=ftruncate
strerror_r=strerror
Hmm actually, i think the latter needed some code changes due to the argument count differences.
Considered autoconf? I know it doesn't fit in the picture when you have the IDE running, but to build the ide maybe?
Oh, as a corollary, I need a way to run ./configure in my Project from the ide.. possible?

BE support should be easy (right now there is just single place which needs fixing). Do you have any hardware to test with?

Lots and lots. If you want to fiddle with the last place, we can start on some debugging.

No problem, but do not expect me to do that. I still hope for posix maintainer to do that for us...

The only possible way would be using custom build steps AFAIK.

Actually, the last place I am aware of deals with swapping order in serialization, it would be problem only if you would want to share serialization between BE/LE machines (which is hardly the case now).
Means, if you can, what about to simply try the current version?

Well, let me know. I just forced myself to learn autoconf, and converted 4 of my projects to use it. It was surprisingly easy, but it helped to find an excellent PDF walk-through.

I'll explore that, as long as it could be a possible step.

Ok, I have started that.

Right, I created a new flagNETBSD ok, changed everywhere so it compiles without issue. The IDE does seem to have some trouble:
http://netbsd.interq.or.jp/~lundman/upp-609dev1.jpg
But testing all Examples that build, they all work fine.
Did the same for OSX, which compiles, but it does not start. Initially it is:
0xffff86f8 in ___bzero () at
/System/Library/Frameworks/System.framework/PrivateHeaders/p pc/cpu_capabilities.h:187
101::memset(&obj, 0, sizeof(obj));
Which does not really make sense. A bit of googling seems to suggest there is a namespace issue "history", with libedit (readline).
However, I commented that line out, in the interest to see how much further I could get:
Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
Reason: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at address: 0x3a262ff8
0x0026e500 in UnpackRLE (t=0x3a262ff8, s=0x421995 "ËËËÃÔ×\205o^rQ:\204a4\030\003vT=\215udÙåç\001òòò", len=<incomplete type>) at /Users/lundman/uppsrc/uppsrc/Draw/ImageBlit.cpp:51
51 *t++ = h;
Also seems odd, perhaps still related to the first issue, so I need to track that down first.

I do not know if I am doing it the correct way, but I exported the Makefile for HelloWorld and set to.
The flagUSEMALLOC, when enabled, created some undefined references MemoryDumpLeaks() in Core.h, which was easy to fix, but I took out USEMALLOC anyway.
Compiling HelloWorld failed due to:
StaticCriticalSection::Initialize
So I wrapped the prototype in #ifdef _MULTITHREADED in mt.h
Then we were linked. Still cores in identical memset(), commented out.
Cores in UnpackRLE, so I made it just return s;
Cores in memcpy:82 Util.h
Cores in memset:273 Image.cpp
At this point I get the Window comes up, with working menu bar.
Picking About will core again, this time in:
Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
Reason: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at address: 0x36340834
0x000e14fc in BltAAMapRGBA4 (dest=0x6888c00, s=0x36340834, map=0x6377080) at /Users/lundman/uppsrc/uppsrc/Draw/ImageScale.cpp:278
278 dest[0] = (s[0].b + s[step].b + s[2 * step].b + s[3 * step].b) << 6;
(gdb) p s
$1 = (const RGBA *) 0x36340834
(gdb) p *s
Cannot access memory at address 0x36340834
Why is it that your RGBA's, which seem to be defined as "RGBA *" or, pointers to an RGBA, end up with the RGBA value "0x36340834" (which looks like a clean RGBA value to me) instead of a pointer to said value.
Almost like:
RGBA *rgba;
*rgba = value;
.. is interpreted as "*(rgba)=value;" instead of the correct
"(*rgba)=value;".

HelloWorld is still too big. First thing that you should make working when porting is logging (LOG and DUMP).

Rather stay with malloc. If there is something highly platform sensitive, it is heap allocator implementation.

Actually, I believe that debugger and compiler are correct. Just somehow s contains invalid address.
