I am using LSC 3.0 with Require Prototypes turned on. This is great for all the functions I define. But prototypes are not required or provided for the Toolbox routines, except for a few functions that return non-ints. This is terrible. I expected THINK to include Toolbox prototypes with LSC. I was getting crashes (very annoying) and suspected I was missing some '&' somewhere. So I declared a few prototypes for Toolbox routines that have var parameters, like SetPt. Well, sure enough, it was an argument to SetPt. LSC only provides partial checks of Toolbox routine calls. If an actual argument is the same size as the formal argument, then LSC lets it go. This is not nearly enough checking. C is a dangerous language (should have been called noose), but I am forced to use it, so I would like to use all the safty features I can. So, does anyone have prototypes built for all the Toolbox routines? Please post! This would be a very valuable time saver.

Stew Rubinstein at Harvard did a full set of prototypes, up through Inside
Mac Vol4. They are (were) available from SUMX via anonymous ftp in the
info-mac directory as: MacProtos.h
Does anyone have the prototypes for Inside Mac Vol.5? I'd like to get
them if so.

Yes, I have them, but I can't post them. For MPW 2.0.2 and previously, the APDA catalog always included an inexpensive MPW related disk containing just the interface (for Pascal) and header (for C) files, if I'm not mistaken. If a similar product is available for MPW 3, as I assume it will be after the release, and it might be for the beta version, it will contain prototypes for every toolbox routine (as well as for every system call requiring glue and some other stuff). /JBL UUCP: {backbone}!bbn!levin POTS: (617) 873-3463 INTERNET: levin@bbn.com
