Very Computer

Hi

I am trying to port an application from D3/SCO 7.0 to D3/Linux 7.1 and am
running into problems when calling user defined C functions.

I have successfully run addbi and the Makefile and created the new D3
executable using the same C function library that is running with D3/SCO.

I can then load the filesave from the D3/SCO 7.1 server and the basic
programs calling the C functions run normally.

BUT, when I re-compile the basic programs (without making any changes) that
call the C functions, they no longer work and give a variety of errors
including core dumps.

It would seem that if the basic program is running the pcode created on
D3/SCO 7.0, all is OK, but running the pcode created on D3/Linux 7.1 it no
longer works.

Anybody got any clues what is going on.

Thanks for any advice you can give.

Regards

Some releases of D3/Linux have a bug in the addbi function.  I would
suggest that you manually check the built errmsg item to make sure
that you are calling the right entry point.

In general, the 'C' calls to work (this is how Coyote talks to the
network on D3/Linux) and we use these calls A LOT!

One other point is that you need to be careful with string lengths
going to and from C functions.  There is a TCL command SET-CMEM that
sets this up.
