I don't believe it! http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/cclass/notes/sx4aa.html
It turns out that PalmOS is pre-ANSI C compiler which means that it does not know how to always initialize local arrays correctly. It took me a long time to figure this out (thank you www.live.com)
OK, So let me tell you what all this work meant...
It means that Screens can support modules in a very easy way. Currently I am running Screens with three modules:
Windows:
core.exe, ui.dll and fs.dll
PalmOS:
core.prc, ui.prc, fs.prc
I did not believe I would get to this point so quick! Three months of hard work and suddenly everything is moving easily along.
Using the make_api utility I am able to easily create function wrappers for all my functions that I want to export for other modules to call. The nice thing about the wrappers is that they look exactly like normal functions and are called like normal functions. I do have alot of optimizations to do and I still don't know how slow this will affect the performance on my LifeDrive.
