Re: [GD-General] calling functions generically

[Brett B. <res...@ga...>]

Thanks Ignacio and Ivan-Assen for the links, both were helpful. I now =
have my Windows version working. I'm now trying to get the PS2 and =
GameCube up and running. I got the Application Binary Interface specs =
for both machines and implemented the PS2 version, but CodeWarrior =
generates different code than me in certain circumstances that I can't =
quite work out.

Just curious, does anybody know if the PS2 has some variance to the =
normal MIPS ABI? Or CodeWarrior? I couldn't find anything in the PS2 doc =
or on ps2-pro so I'm not sure sure what to doexcept keep compiling test =
cases and looking for patterns. If anybody has any tips for this, please =
let me know. I don't think posting violates the Sony NDA because the doc =
is publicly available and the PS2 Linux kit includes all the doc too.

Cheers,
Brett
