IoRequest resetting

[Jose]

Hi. Do I really need to reset the Io_Command field every time I want to reuse the IoRequest ?

What about when creating new requests from one that is being served, can I just AllocMem() sizeof the request and copy over the first one ?

:pint:

No you dont. But I recommmend you reset it anyway.

Copy IORequest when it is not being used.

Any special reason ? I like to know why... It seems to work here like I described (yes I'm stubborn:))

"In use" means between SendIO and WaitIO.

It is always a bad idea to access storage that does not belong to your task and with SendIO you send the request to another task.

After it has been returned, you can access it again. You can safely copy it after OpenDevice or between DoIOs.

Bye,

Ok ok.... it's just more cumbersome to do:). I guess I'll have to make a request from which others are copied when I want to send one...
