C link library information...

[Jose]

Hi. Can someone advise a good source of information on the environment to make a C link libary, specially if it possible to access some internal information like variable types.

:pint:

Ah, ok, reason I'm asking is that I've almost completed a very complicated macro to make serialization easier and less bulkier. The internal code to actually do it is not finished so I was hoping making it a link libarry would make it more easier.

Anyway, what environment would you advise to make a link library, might be stupid question indeed but it's the 1st time I do it :-D

"Ahh, you're making your own link library then?"

Yes, would that make any difference to the 1st question ? Surely, types are not available to the coder, but I had a vague hope that the library could access some extra info..

"Déjà vu, didn't we go thru all this before already?"

Yes, but I've changed the method completely a few times since then. 1st I thought about using strings as some of you purposed, then realized macros would provide way much better syntax. Since then I've changed the initial macro concept I was going to use and  the macros themselves are in the 7th incarnation
Maybe tomorrow I'll have another idea and change it all over again but I don't think so, this is probably the one that will stay since I've already lost so much time thinking about the different possibilities.

Cool, I got a SASC install here and it rules. Might try to use VBCC though, as I'd like it to run on AOS4 and MOS too.
