Hi Tim,
it's great, that there is movement in parport_ieee1284.c now -
accordingly to the actual demand of people.
I will have to reduce my spare time activities until christmas,
because I was informed today, that my PhD exam will be on dec. 22,
but afterwards I'll have time to work on parport_ieee1284.c.
(But I won't reduce my parport_ieee1284-activities to 0 until then.)
What does your "attempt at an implementation of IEEE-1284" mean
for me and the things, we "talked" about some weeks ago?
The new fields and structs in parport.h are fine and are very
similar to those, I suggested in my proposal for parport_ieee1284 -
I'll adopt my parport_ieee1284.c to them - o.k..
Now, what would you advise me, how to proceed?
Change my parport_ieee1284.c, for it will provide exactly
your "main exposed functions"
int parport_ieee1284_negotiate (struct parport *, int mode);
ssize_t parport_ieee1284_read_block (struct parport *, char *, size_t);
ssize_t parport_ieee1284_write_block (struct parport *, char *, size_t);
But those function will finally call my code, which can do both:
blocking and non-blocking calls? This would be an easy change!
Or would you prefer, if I take your code, leave it mostly untouched,
and just append my non-blocking version as separate thing at the end
of parport_ieee1284.c?
Roger.
