install bug

There is a small buglet in the file:

awg/library/runtime/eiffel/build.eant

The ge2e targets for the 2 ge files in the ffcall directory have inconsistent argument spec directory values. One reads "ffcall" the other reads "ffcall/spec".

I believe the latter is the value both targets should have.

void parameter -> not wrapped

2005-08-16T17:32:09Z

We found today a mysterious thing with EWG. We wrapped
SDL_mixer.h into Eiffel, which has the following function:

extern DECLSPEC void SDLCALL Mix_HookMusicFinished(void
(*music_finished)(void));

As you can see, there is a (void) parameter given to
this function. This is equal to:

extern DECLSPEC void SDLCALL Mix_HookMusicFinished(void
(*music_finished)());

Well, under Windows, the first function above was
wrapped correctly (latest CVS version) as
void_void_anonymous_callback_callback.e (+ dispatcher)

Under Linux, the first function did not generate any
callback for this function. As we modified the header
to the second one (which is equal), the function was
wrapped as under Windows.

So we request you to have a look at this void-parameter
thing so it is wrapped equal on every system.

Thanks in advance

doc nit: wrong type in text accompanying example

This sentence confused me for a minute:

The creation routine of
SAMPLE_CALLBACK_TYPE_DISPATCHER.c_dispatcher expects
an object of type SAMPLE_CALLBACK_TYPE_DISPATCHER.

I think it should read:

The creation routine of SAMPLE_CALLBACK_TYPE_DISPATCHER
expects an object of type SAMPLE_CALLBACK_TYPE_CALLBACK.
