Hokay, After taking Andreas' suggestion to dump the tacky old sqFilenameFromString macro to heart, SM has a new release 11 - 3.8b5-64B and SVN has level 1284 for you to play with. Read the SM page comments. It may well break things but I think it gets the basic facility cleaner. I also cleaned out some ugly arg-typing floobs while I was at it.
There is a cut'n'paste typo in one of the arg-type defloobifications, fix attached.
Ta. Mpeg3Plugin is one I don't/can't compile anyway so it doesn't get checked in a ny way but visual inspection at my end.
I've built a unix VM from the new VMM/svn sources, but I'm getting problems opening the sources and changes files. Something has changed that affects the operation of "FileDirectory default oldFileNamed: 'squeak.changes'". I'm getting a nil from that, while "FileStream oldFileNamed: 'squeak.changes'" still works as expected.
I have not spotted the source of the problem yet...
RISC OS uses its own equivalent ofthe Cross/plugins/FilePlugin/ sqFilePluginBasicPrims.c and so again it doesn't get used by my system. Most likely another typo since I didn't make any structural changes.
Mea culpa. The sqGetFileNameFromString() function needs to null-terminate the file name string after copying it, and I had not done that.
The new VMM/SVN works fine on Intel 32 bit Linux for both a 32 bit and 64 bit VM. I'll check AMD-64 when I get a chance, but I don't think there will be any problems there.
The sqGetFileNameFromString() function I used is just this:
sqInt sqGetFilenameFromString(char *aCharBuffer, char *aFilenameString, sqInt filenameLength, sqInt aBoolean) { strncpy(aCharBuffer, aFilenameString, filenameLength); aCharBuffer[filenameLength] = 0; }
BTW, the Mpeg3Plugin is working fine on 32 bit Linux, so the rest of the cut'n'pasting must have been OK.
