From: AFA-DFSEC@GUNTER-ADAM.ARPA I was recently trying to implement kermit protocals into Michael Mounier's Amigaterm. I compiled it with 3.03 and got no error messages but when the program fired up I got a CLI TASK HELD error and then a guru meditation number. I checked through the code, even tried recompiling the original with the same results. I have narrowed it down to the Serial Port stuff but am stuck there. If I take out the OPen serial all works fine, or if I take out the SetMenuStrip all works fine. Any ideas would be nice. If I get this problem overcome I gladly post Amigaterm with Kermit protocals. By the way, Aterm does compile under 3.02 but my kermit code does not. It gets a CZXERR in pass 2. HWELP!! Glenn Watt -------

I have the same problem, any hints from Amiga or Lattice on what they may have changed in the SetMenuStrip call between V3.02 and V3.03? --Chuck > From: AFA-DFSEC@GUNTER-ADAM.ARPA > > I was recently trying to implement kermit protocals into Michael Mounier's > Amigaterm.

Concerning the difficulty of compiling the AmigaTerm program with
V3.03 of the Lattice C compiler. There is a bug in the code generator
that causes it to miscompile &varptr[n+1] (Oh why is C such a bear to
compile?) change the two lines in AmigaTerm that use this syntax to
&varptr[n]+1 and it works fine.
And so it goes,

I also had problems compiling Amigaterm using version 3.03 of the Lattice
C compiler. I was finaly able to track this problem down to a bug in
the compiler which was incorrectly compiling experssions of the form
"&array[var+con]". I have notified Lattice of this bug and presumable it will
be fixed in the next release.
I was able to get around the problem in Amigaterm by changing the routines
"InitFileItems" and "InitRSItems" to use pointer variables rather than
arrays with a variable subscript. If anyone would like a copy of my modified
versions of these routines, reply by mail and I will send it.
The following is a copy of the test program which I sent to Lattice which
illustrates the bug which was causing the problems with Amigaterm:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/* Test program to demonstrate a bug in version 3.03 of the amiga
Lattice C compiler */
/* Compile this program and look at the object file with OMD.
The compiler generates code which calculates an incorrect value
for the pointer which is being assigned to xl[n].ptr */
struct xyz {
struct xyz *ptr;
short value;
};
struct xyz xl[5];
main()
{
short n;
for (n=0; n<4; n++) {
/* The following line compiles incorrectly */
xl[n].ptr = &xl[n+1];
xl[n].value = 5*n;
}
printf("%x, %x, %x, %x\n",&xl[1],&xl[2],&xl[3],&xl[4]);
for (n=0; n<4; n++)
printf("xl[%d].ptr = %x\n",n,xl[n].ptr);

Could one of you who have Amigaterm.c please send me the source. We must have come on-line (on-net?) after it was posted. Please mail responses to me rather than re-post the source.
