Short: Debug.lib translated for Amiga E
Author: vintenat@reseau.onecert.fr
Uploader: vintenat@reseau.onecert.fr
Type: dev/e
debug.m is the E module equivalent to the C linked library debug.lib.
If you already know this linked library, you can skip this introduction
and directly go to the TECHNICAL section.
For those who don't know this link library, let me give you a little
explanation of its interest. Indeed, it contains simple input/output
functions for the serial port. Thanks to them, you can use a remote debug-
ging terminal linked to your Amiga via the serial port. But nobody have
a debugging terminal linked to his Amiga :-) So a solution is to used
Sushi which is developper tool (but also available on aminet) to intercept
raw serial debugging output and to redirect it to a simple CON window.
So every Amiga can take benefit from these function. But what is the
interest for a sample Amiga E user in relation to the WriteF() procedure ?
I see two advantages :
- debugging output isn't mixed with normal output
- you can't use functions like WriteF(), PrintF(), etc (in fact, all
the dos.library function) outside a process context, in other words, you
MUST use debug.m functions instead for exec tasks, devices, handlers, etc
