Apple is developing "Universal Asm Interfaces". They are beta, but not yet final. They can be used with PPCAsm (1.1d5 or later) for PowerPC development or with Asm (3.4b2 or later) for 68K development. These files are radically different than previous AIncludes. They now parallel the C and Pascal headers. There is a one-to-one mapping between the files in AIncludes and those in CIncludes. Every struct in C is now a RECORD in asm. Every constant in C is now an EQU in asm. Every function prototype in C is now an 68K macro or import in asm.
Important: The new AInclude files have new names which parallel the C headers (e.g. Files.a). If you wish to continue using the old style AIncludes (for 68K), just continue to include the old names in your source files (e.g. FSEqu.a).
Important: Traps.a now longer contains all the macros/opwords for all toolbox traps (e.g. _GetResource). Instead the interface file for each manager declares its macros (e.g. _GetResources is now in Resources.a)
Important: The macros for low-mem accessing in classic 68K runtime use pascal calling conventions (just like the C and pascal accessors use) by default. If you want better code generation, you can specify a register source/destination by follow the macro name with a comma and then the register. The macro will then expand to be a simple Move instruction.
Important: Be wary about mixing Universal AIncludes and the old style AIncludes. Many of the file names are the same, but have a different contents, and they each auto-include different other files. If you decide to use the Universal AIncludes, completely replace your AIncludes folder - do not back up into it. Then add back any contents, or files as you discover they are needed.
