Hi All,

I Try to use dos lib to open to read/write files.

I have made some functions for this but I encounter some problems.
Here are the functions :


FILE *FileChannel[ 256 ];



void DEFileOpenToRead( int ChannelID, const char *FileName ){

  int FOpened = DEFileOpened( ChannelID );

  if ( FOpened == 0 ){

    if ( ChannelID > 0 ){

      if ( ChannelID < 257 ){

        FileChannel[ ChannelID ] = Open( FileName, MODE_OLDFILE );

       }

     }

   }

 }



void DEFileOpenToWrite( int ChannelID, const char *FileName ){

  int FOpened = DEFileOpened( ChannelID );

  if ( FOpened == 0 ){

    if ( ChannelID > 0 ){

      if ( ChannelID < 257 ){

        FileChannel[ ChannelID ] = Open( FileName, MODE_NEWFILE );

       }

     }

   }

 }



void DECloseFile( int ChannelID ){

  int FOpened = DEFileOpened( ChannelID );

  if ( FOpened == 1 ){

    Close( FileChannel[ ChannelID ] );

    FileChannel[ ChannelID ] = NULL;

   }

 }



void DEMakeMemblockFromFileEx( int MemblockID, const char *FileName ){

  int ChannelID = DENextFreeFile();

  DEFileOpenToRead( ChannelID, FileName );

  int FileSize = IDOS->GetFileSize( FileChannel[ ChannelID ] );

  DEMakeMemblock( MemblockID, FileSize );

  IDOS->FRead( FileChannel[ ChannelID ], DEGetMemblockPTR( MemblockID ), FileSize, 1 );

  DECloseFile( ChannelID );

 }

Concerning Open / Close, I get errors on compilations :

undefined reference to 'close'
undefined reference to 'open'

if I try to change this by :

if I change with IDOS->Open, I get warning :
PAssing argument 2 of 'IDOS->Close' makes integer from pointer without a cast ) ...
Arg 2 is not a pointer ... strange ?

Of course, I have <proto/dos.h> included ;)
and GetFileSize and FRead are correctly identified and does not report any error on compilation.

Don't mind .. I have checked the sample in AmigaOS 4 SDK and founded what was wrong :p

Kindest Regards,
Fred

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

If you are using the DOS functions instead of the C library function the correct type for a file handle is BPTR instead of FILE*.

Furthermore you implemented the "zero index problem" at best. An array declared as "array[256]" has indices 0 to 255, but you check for 1 to 256. This will always leave the first entry unused (harmless) and write beyond the array bounds for the last entry (very harmful!!!).

Not strange at all, given the fact that dos/Open() and dos/Close() use a BPTR variable, which in fact is a LONG and no real pointer.

@tboeckel :
Yes, it's what I've seen and why I put it as "fixed" :p
