English Amiga Board - View Single Post - NDK3.2r4: clib/asl_protos.h and Autodocs disagree on AslRequestTags()

Both declarations are identical. The functions are varadic functions that take an opaque pointer as first argument, and a variable number of tags, terminated by TAG_DONE.

Actually, only AllocAslRequest() exists as library entry point, the "xxxTags()" function are generated by the compiler. This is very convenient as the compiler just provides a pointer to the tag list on the stack as second argument.
