I wonder why that stays in the executable. I would expect a good compiler would 
through that line away unless it is really referenced.

I quote from the Autodocs for WaitBlit():

*   RESULT
*       Your program waits until the blitter is finished.
*	This routine does not use any the CPU registers.
*	do/d1/a0/a1 are preserved by this routine.
*	It may change the condition codes though.

So you should be able to use WaitBlit().

You could flush the disk buffers, but that requires a huge chunk of
code (provided you don't link your code with Amiga.lib/small.lib)
It's a lot easier to use wait for approx. 2 secs, using Delay() in
dos.library.

Now, now, you've just brought in an entirely unrelated example;
the reason they don't say 'oops, sorry, here's the right one' is
its much easier to copy a program and manual than it is to
copy a starter.  Plus, the auto store will probably be able to
still sell that starter.  Unless, of course, you bashed it to bits
trying to fit it into your car, in which case, they probably won't
want to take it back either :-)

Obviously the example has nothing to do with C='s desire to not have
to support bit level hardware banging of the AA chip set.

An interesting question that we've been mulling over here at Sun as
well. Basically there are several things to consider:
   1)	Incompatible link libraries. No C++ implementation to date
	has produced a reasonable link library standard that both
	C and C++ users are happy with. This stems primarily from
	some of the "extra" functions that C++ compilers tend to
	put around method invocations to support OO concepts.
   2)	C++ isn't a systems language. While it is possible to build
	large systems with C++, the impedence match between how
	operating systems are currently designed, and C++ is poor.
	Successful users of OO systems languages do so by starting
	with an OS that is OO in nature. Lots of research going on
	in that area!
   3)	Paradigm shift. Once you understand C it is often difficult
	to "shift" into an OO paradigm. Some programmers worry that
	if they use C++ they will suddenly start preferring GUI interfaces :-)

I think there are other candidates that might make a bit more sense. I'm
interested in seeing a Modula-3 port to the Amiga.

Date: Sat, 9 Jan 1993 20:32:24 GMT

at the ripe old age of 33, i've decided to learn C.

i'm using a pretty darned good book entitled _Teach Yourself C in 21 Days_.
while the authors have tried mightily to make to code portable for learning
purposes, it does lean towards the PC. the last example in the first
chapter has the statement

	fprintf( stdprn, "\f" );
                 ^^^^^^^
which seems to be a part of the PC stdio.h  but not of stdio.h included with
GCC2.3.3, since GCC chokes on that line. i'm assuming that this is declared 
differently on the amiga, and since GCC doesn't include the Commodore headers,
i'm rather out of luck for the time being. however, i understand what the 
statement does, so i can leave it for later.

my query: how do i get the Commodore includes? obviously if i spend the $250
for SAS/C 6.1, i'll get the includes. but i don't have that kind of money
these days, and don't want to spring for it until i know better how well i'll
do learning C.

my guess is that if i register as a developer, i can get the includes direct
from Commodore. If that's the case, can someone enlighten me further as to
how much that will cost, and where i should call/write and if indeed this is
the only way to get the includes? (no suggestions of pirating, please)

again, i'm an absolute newbie at this, so i apologize if this is a FAQ.

Hello,

I have run to a limitation of gnu ld when converting a
amiga library to a.out style ar archive.

The problem seems to be, that the ld that is supplied
with gcc 2.3.3 doesn't set some bsr.w instruction jump
offsets correctly even though the a.out objects have the
relocation information.

Are the 16-bit pc-relative references supported by ld
at all?  From looking at the hunk2gcc source there is a
small note:
  Currently untested are:
   o  base-relative relocs and references
      I'll first have to teach gnu-ld how to deal with them ;-)

And this is a very old source.. dated 91-10-19.

I can give you more information and a test case if needed.

Help!

I just got the 6.0 (not 6.1!!!! argh!) update and have transfered some
code over from a program I wrote using 5.10....

Everything works fine (and faster! :) :) :) ) EXCEPT for my CreateTask()
statement that creates a child task....The line that creates the task
seems to crash the machine....(p.s.: as a note, my task is declared with
saved_ds...)....

Why does my createtask statement work in 5.10 and NOT in 6.0??????????????

Thanks In Advance,
Ted

   Well I finally found someone who had the MCAsm file and he was nice
enough to E-mail it to me.  I had several requests from other people to
notify them if I found it as they were also looking for it..  So I put
it on wuarchive.wustl.edu in systems/amiga/incoming/programming.

Ciao
