1- Hi. Is the NP_Entry tag for CreateNewProc() a BPTR ?
2- Also. Is is possible to pass arguments to a function I want to launch as a separate process without having them as global variables ?
3- Finally. I want to have a report to the result of my function's actions. I decided to have the report not done by the function itself since it could crash, or wait a long time. My doubt is: should I create separate process that launches the function as yet another process, and reports and finishes the report with an error (timeout or something) if a certain user set amount of time has passed ? Or should I let the main program do that, checking for the returned timerequestion with SetSignal() ? I take it that if the setSignal check is nothing compared to the main() loop in terms of code size it shouldn't hurt perfomance much ? What about the overload of creating a new process everytime I want a new action to be performed (wich sometimes can happend just a few times, other times plenty...)..
That all. 8-)
