- CDEF - DeBugger v2.0.1
-
- Written in Think 'C' v 7.x
- by Douglas Jones and Marc White ( Who really did most of the CDEF stub part! :) )
-
- Originally written...
- May-June 1995
-
- And Revisions...
- Junbe-October 1995
-
- Q: Hey Doug what is CDEF - Debugger?
-
- This is a pretty cool little hack to allow you to debug a code resource from
- within your application. The example that is given here is for a control
- defintion or a "cdef" as they are normally called. I cannot gaurantee that in
- fact this will work on every system, but I've yet to have a problem. With version
- 2.0 it should work on both 68xxx and PowerPC machines.
-
-
- Q: How did you ever learn to do this?
-
- Well version 1.0 incorporated a thing called an embedded code resource. This was
- neat and all, but a little bit sloppy. My friend Marc White, who let's me call him
- friend for an annual fee of $5, told me of a thing called a "Stub". I've never heard
- of it, I told him this and he went on explaning it to me. That's how it came about.
- Check out our converstation in the "About Stub.c" file. It will explain what a "stub" is.
-
-
- Q: Is this the best way to make a control definition?
-
- I will be the first to tell you that this code isn't the fastest way to do things. I
- didn't create it to be efficient. It was created to teach, so most of the stuff I do
- is "In-Procedure" so to speak. That means I try not to jump around alot. You
- could make macros to do alot of what I'm doing, but I'll leave that up to you.
-
-
- Q: Why did you make this and what do you want from me?
-
- I hope this helps you in debugging your cdef's and such. I don't want money
- or any credit, really this isn't my work. Yea, like I know assembly. Or I knew
- how to create a CDEF stub. HA. I'm just a lonely programmer trying to figure things
- out.
-
-
- Q: You seem like a nice guy how on earth could I reach you?
-
- If you wish to contact me you can, but pleassse don't expect me to know much
- about how the STUB works. I would be more than happy to answer anything about
- how a cdef works. Don't hesitate to ask me something that you think is "stupid".
- I intended to make this for people that are more like me. I'm still learning
- all I can learn about programming. If it wasn't for other people making examples
- for me to hack through I would still be trying to figure out how to make my computer beep.
-
-
- Q: Umm.. Doug you did some things wrong. I don't think your that smart.
-
- If you find any bugs or major errors, which I'm sure I have, let me know about them.
- Heck you could even fix them and send me the new copy.
-
-
- Q: Groovy! How do I contact you?
-
- You can contact me at...
-
- Doug Jones
- LLStudio@eWorld.com
-
-
- Q: Doug I'm curious about other examples, yours is.. well... not that interesting.
-
-
- Other fine examples about CDEF's that I have run across are...
-
- Jim's CDEF's.........................written by James G. Stout
-
- * This is probably one of the best out there. Jim really explains
- a variety of cdef's other that a simple slider. I would highly
- recommend you taking a look at this.
-
- Slider CDEF 1.3......................written by Harold Ekstrom
-
- * If you would like to see how to use GWorld drawing in your cdef
- then you need to check out this. I don't think I've yet run accross
- a better commented piece of code in my life. Excelent code!
-
- PopUp 1.0b4..........................written by Ari Halberstadt
-
- * Anything you would ever want to know about a popup control.
-
-
- Q: Doug is there anybody out there you would like to thank before leaving?
-
- I would like to thank...
-
- Marc White. He is a programming fool. He know's more computer languages than
- I know cola's. If it wasn't for him I would be a bigger nothing than I am today.
- And if it wasn't for him we would never have met version 2.0 of CDEF - DeBugger.
- And also it wouldn't work on a PowerPC.
-
- Jim Stout. Wether you know it or not, I truely do appreciate you putting out
- Jim's CDEF's for public access. If it wasn't for you and people like you I
- wouldn't be able to figure anything out. Learning is seeing and your code is
- a big help in that area.
-
- All the little people. If it wasn't for people trying to do things different
- from what the Corporations want us to do then we wouldn't have creativity. And
- thus change.
-
-
-
- Have fun and don't work to hard. If you ever do anything cool be sure to put it
- out on some boards or the net.
-
- Doug
