I noticed the source invocation offset behaves differently between
_MATINVAT2 and matinvat(). With _MATINVAT2, the source invocation offset
value '0' denotes the invocation executing _MATINVAT2, value -1 denotes its
caller, value -2 denotes its caller's caller, etc. For example the
following gets the program pointer of the caller, so the source invocation
offset is -1.
#include <mimchobs.h>
#include <string.h>
void test(void)
{ _INV_Template_T I;
_Select_Templatge_T S;
char *P;
memset(&I, 0 ,sizeof(I));
memset(&S, 0 ,sizeof(S));
I.Inv_Offset = -1; /*caller*/
S.Numb_Attrs = 1;
S.Entry[0].Attr_ID = _MATV_PGM_PTR;
S.Entry[0].Rcvr_Len = sizeof(P);
_MATINVAT2((_SPCPTR) &P, &I, &S);
return; }
But with matinvat(), the source invocation offset value -1 denotes the
invocation executing matinvat(), value -2 denotes its caller, value -3
denotes its caller's caller, etc. So to acheive the same result above with
matinvat(), I have to decrement the offset from -1 to -2! Is this working
as designed, or an off by one bug?
#include <mimchobs.h>
#include <string.h>
void test(void)
{ _INV_Template_T I;
char *P;
memset(&I, 0, sizeof(I));
I.Inv_Offset = -2; /*caller*/
matinvat((_SPCPTR) &P, &I, _MATV_PGM_TR, sizeof(P));
return; }
