icon.library 46.4 test versions - Page 4

No, I've no idea what the reason for this FastMem-problem is. Nobody else seems to have this problem.

Bamiga2002 · 18 June 2012, 19:45

OK, thanks for trying to help anyway

. I'll do some more testing and try to find out the cause.

PeterK · 18 June 2012, 19:47

Bamiga2002, if you like, you could try all of these versions: REMOVED

Bamiga2002 · 19 June 2012, 07:26

Thanks, I'll test them all for this chipmem-thingy. Quick test with 2 versions:
46.4.231 - works => chipmem stable
46.4.232 - works not => chipmem eaten

Hello Bamiga2002,

thanks a lot for testing the bunch of libs. As I already expected, it seems to be a problem with my FindTask() and FindPort() instructions in the Open() routine, Probably, these functions, which are all protected by a Forbid()/Permit() pair, are switching off the multitasking for a too long time, and FindTask() disables even the interrupt handling, which could cause the trouble. So, I took out the FindTask() instructions at least now, and hope that this can solve the problem. Let's see first if it works already, before I try to change more.

Bamiga2002 · 20 June 2012, 21:25

Yes! This version works

. Tested many times, chipmem stays stable

but how come I seem to be the only one having this problem? Is it related to BPPC or something else perhaps?

PeterK · 20 June 2012, 21:28

Hey, that's great.
Did you try the latest version ?
I've updated it some hours ago.

It's a problem that occurs on systems with two CPUs. Your PPC doesn't like it when I disable the interrupts and the multitasking for too long.

Bamiga2002 · 20 June 2012, 21:31

Yep just downloaded it some 15mins ago and tried straight away.
OK so one flaw more for the mighty BPPC then

PeterK · 20 June 2012, 21:37

That was my big problem, that I don't have such a nice PPC to check things out by myself. However, in case you still get any issues then don't hesitate to report them. Many thanks for your feedback !

Bamiga2002 · 20 June 2012, 21:39

Been glad to help and test

PeterK · 22 June 2012, 04:02

Updated to icon.library 46.4.243

Bamiga2002 · 24 June 2012, 14:50

Working so far, all icons I've tried seem to display just fine.

PeterK · 24 June 2012, 18:24

Thank you Bamiga2002, it's good to know that this PPC problem seems to be fixed now. And I've already done another new version. It's experimantal again, like the previous version.

Updated to icon.library 46.4.244

Foul · 25 June 2012, 00:35

prob with 46.4.244, my exe or adf icons seems "crunched" :

No prob with previous versions

PeterK · 25 June 2012, 19:09

Hi Foul,

thanks a lot for reporting that issue. Could you please upload a few of these examples.

And a little more info about your system would be nice. Which OS version? Workbench, DOpus5 or Scalos etc....

Foul · 25 June 2012, 20:08

of course !

done

edit : KS/OS 3.9 startup attached. Dopus 4.18 / No Scalos

PeterK · 25 June 2012, 20:16

Hey Foul,

I need the "*.info" files and not the associated files.
Or are the icons on the adf images ? I will check that now.
Or don't these files have any real icons ??

Foul · 25 June 2012, 20:24

no real icons, it's perhaps why there are like this ?

Checked all my env*.info files.. all are normal...

PeterK · 25 June 2012, 20:28

Ok, there seems to be a general problem with def_icons. I'm gonna check that now. Thank's so far...

Foul · 25 June 2012, 20:28

happy to help
