Re: [68k] Storing a value into n?

Oh, I get ARB_INT_TAG now. It's like when you solve sin(x)=0, the solution is x=pi*@n1. Basically they're numbers into which anything can be stored and the solution is still true?
So I was using fopen and returning a list representing the FILE structure:
Code: [Select]
case 24:
a=GetArgType(argptr);
if (a!=STR_TAG)
{
DlgError("Arg 2 must be string");
return;
}
const char* f3=GetStrnArg(argptr);
fio=fopen(f3,"r+b");
push_END_TAG();
push_longint((long)fio->fpos);
push_longint((long)fio->base);
push_longint(fio->handle);
push_longint(fio->flags);
push_longint(fio->unget);
push_longint(fio->alloc);
push_longint(fio->buffincrement);
push_LIST_TAG();
VarStore(SYMSTR("n"),STOF_ESI,0,top_estack);
break;
The WriteListToFilePtr function writes back to the FILE structure:
Code: [Select]
void WriteListToFilePtr(ESI temp,FILE* fio)
{
int i=0;
long* u=NULL;
if (!(u=calloc(7,sizeof(long))))
return;
//clrscr();
for(i=0;i<7;i++)
{
u[i]=GetIntArg(temp);
//printf("u[%d]=%ld\n",i,u[i]);
}


fio->fpos=(char*)u[6];
fio->base=(void*)u[5];
fio->handle=u[4];
fio->flags=u[3];
fio->unget=u[2];
fio->alloc=u[1];
fio->buffincrement=u[0];
free(u);
}
Do these entries in the structure have to be written to in reverse order or is this order fine? Also, thanks for your help!

Due to dissatisfaction, I will be inactive on Omnimaga until further notice. (?? THP hasn't been much success and there's also the CE. I might possibly be here for a while.)
If you want to implore me to come back, or otherwise contact me, I can be found on GitHub (bluebear94), Twitter (@melranosF_), Reddit (/u/Fluffy8x), or e-mail (if you know my address). As a last resort, send me a PM on Cemetech (bluebear94) or join Touhou Prono (don't be fooled by the name). I've also enabled notifications for PMs on Omnimaga, but I don't advise using that since I might be banned.

The order doesn't matter, but I'm not sure why you're serializing and deserializing the FILE structure's fields ?

BTW: all files on the TI-68k are memory-mapped, BTW, so it's more efficient to use native, non-standard vat.h functions than standard, non-native stdio.h functions (reimplemented on top of vat.h, so they take up some space in your program) :)

I'm serializing/deserializing the fields so that the user will be able to open and close with the same FILE structure. Also, note that this is code from a library I'm writing. The problem is that this code gives me an address error:
Code: [Select]
case 25:
a=GetArgType(argptr);
if (a!=LIST_TAG)
{
DlgError("Arg 2 must be list");
return;
}
WriteListToFilePtr(argptr-1,fio);
fclose(fio);
fio is a pointer to the FILE structure declared before the switch statement.
Due to dissatisfaction, I will be inactive on Omnimaga until further notice. (?? THP hasn't been much success and there's also the CE. I might possibly be here for a while.)

Yeah, that's what I had understood from the code, but I'm trying to understand why do you need / want to do that ? :)
The general rule for fields of a FILE struct, whatever the target platform is, is that these fields are an implementation detail and should not be used, unless there's a very good reason to.
Serializing FILE structs in order to be able to deserialize them, potentially from a different run, is a recipe for disaster if the file's parameters (starting with the addresses - files can move during a both heap compaction and an archive memory garbage collection) change in-between.

Then I might replace fopen/fclose/fgetc/fputc with 4 file commands: fread, fwrite, fgetc, and fputc. Thanks for telling me that!
EDIT: Does the handle field (fio->handle) remain consistent between runs though?

On 2nd thought, I am going to use an array of 16 FILE structures, and have the user refer to them by indices (0 to 15). With any file-writing operation, I will update the appropriate element. For fopen and fclose, I might have
Code: [Select]
case 24:
a=GetArgType(argptr);
if (a!=STR_TAG)
{
DlgError("Arg 2 must be string");
return;
}
const char* f3=GetStrnArg(argptr);
a=GetArgType(argptr);
if (a!=STR_TAG)
{
DlgError("Arg 3 must be string");
return;
}
const char* f4=GetStrnArg(argptr);
a=GetArgType(argptr);
for (x=0;x<=16;x++)
{
if (!interface[x].handle) break;
}
if (x!=16)
{
interface[x]=*fopen(f3,f4);
}
WriteToNInt(x);
break;
case 25:
a=GetArgType(argptr);
if (a!=POSINT_TAG)
{
DlgError("Arg 2 must be int");
return;
}
x=GetIntArg(argptr);
if (x<0||x>=16)
{
DlgError("Arg 2 out of range");
return;
}
fclose(&interface[x]);
interface[x].handle=H_NULL;
break;

Not in the general case. That's part of the reasons why I'm suggesting you to avoid using the fields of the FILE struct.

For some reason the code after "case 25:" results in an Address Error...
