Computers still mock me...
Feb. 18th, 2003 05:23 pmI'm STILL working on something I should have been done with yesterday. Worse, I'm still on the part of it that should have been inflexibly over yesterday. It's all because of a certain DLL, let's call it M. I'm forced to do most of my work in M instead of X because B (a person, not a DLL) wants to use the stuff too. M is not written in precisely the same language as X. M is definately not written in the same developer mindset as X. M occasionally requires you to export bits of itself to itself. M gives errors if you fail to explicitly not use the return value of a function. M occasionally mangles the names of its functions, and occasionally does not -- that it's doing it is hidden by the compiler, and when it's doing it is hidden by a mixture of #defines and #pragmas. So, getting M to build with the new code -- much less export the API -- is a task that is PISSING ME OFF.
At least once I finish this I can... try to debug the code without the needed resources existing yet. Joy. -.-
