Writing device drivers in VBCC?
 

Hey folks,

Are there any examples of writing devices using VBCC. I have seen some GCC stuff and i'm happy with that for now but i prefer using vbcc for my toolchain because its far easier to get running (and will run on low end classic machines).

Anyways thanks for any help in this area.

I don't know if anybody has already written a device driver with vbcc, but it should be straightforward as vbcc is quite compatible to standard Amiga compilers, like SAS/C.

A device is not so different from a library. It's probably easiest to write the resident structure and the function table in assembler.

Attached you find an example library, which I wrote about 14 years ago in pure C with vbcc. Might be a good starting point.

There's this on Aminet too:

thanks for the pointers. I havent found many C only drivers. Just the mntsd one and thats fully gcc. vbcc got huffy with it. will report my results.
