Re: [glob2-devel] alpha 19 and network retwrite

[Leo Wandersleb]

hi Stéphane

can you please explain what exactly you want to change!
if I got you right you're talking about code like this one:
Uint8 * getData() {
        addSint32(data, wDec, 0);
        addSint32(data, hDec, 4);
        return data;
}
bool setData(const Uint8 *data, int dataLength) {
        wDec=getSint32(data, 0);
        hDec=getSint32(data, 4);
        return (true);
}
how would it look like after your modification?

As I most likely will not have too much time to work on 
glob2 (my new job is more of a 50h job plus 2h to get there 
and back each day.) it will not affect me, but why will cvs 
be broken? why don't you just branch for that?

Greetings, Leo Wandersleb
