Re: A86: Interrupt link handler (was ticalc.org)
I agree for the most part. Guess what people? Magnus Hagander owns the
server and it's internet connection. Isaac Salpeter owns the domain name.
What does that mean? It means that they can do whatever they want to!
That's right. As shocking as it may be, it's their site and they can do
whatever they want to. If you don't like it, you don't have to visit their
site or stay on their mailing lists. But what you can't do is expect those
of us that do program in asm to give a hoot about your whining. Get over
it, or get off the list. Simple as that. One a side note, I notice that
most of the completely off topic posts come from people that don't post
anything asm, and most of those come from people on AOL...
To put it back on topic (this is an asm list? oh, I thought I was on
crybabies@lists.ticalc.org): Has anyone thought about writing an interrupt
link port handler? I was thinking that it might work out better for
programs that transmit lots of data to do it using interrupts. You'd have
two buffers, a receive and a send buffer. The interrupt hanlder would take
bytes off the send buffer and transmit them, while receiving bytes and
placing them in the receive buffer.
The main part of the program wouldn't have to mess with the buffers. You'd
just call your nomral GetByte/SendByte routines and they'd handle it. The
good part is that the programs wouldn't have to wait for each other and
wouldn't get out of synch (at least that's why I'm hoping for). I talked
with Matthew Shepcar about this for Bomber Bloke, though he didn't think
it'd help much. This would be pretty important for a C&C type game that
would be sending many bytes per second. Waiting for the games to synch and
send data wouldn't be an option.
Thoughts?
