I also debugged it on the zaurus with gdb.




I debugged somewhat more and this learned me that the record Method is passed by reference instead of by value as it should.
With a little hack I managed to force a call by value.



Library extract that shows the function that expects a record by value. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // C definition in library of function that expects a record of type TMethod by value (hook parameter) C_EXPORT void QButton_hook_hook_clicked(QButton_hookH handle, QHookH hook);

  // definition of QHookH in library
  typedef struct {
    void *func;
    void *data;
  } QHook;
  typedef QHook QHookH;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Here is the Pascal code that passed the record by reference instead of by value
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Pascal definition of external library function
QHookH = TMethod;
procedure QButton_hook_hook_clicked(handle: QButton_hookH; hook: QHookH); cdecl;
procedure QButton_hook_hook_clicked; external QtShareName name QtNamePrefix + 'QButton_hook_hook_clicked';
// pascal code that calls the library function and passes the record by reference instead of by value
QButton_hook_hook_clicked(button_hook,Method);
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Here is the hack that enables me to force passing by value (the program than 
works)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  procedure QButton_hook_hook_clicked2(handle: QButton_hookH; func: integer; 
data: integer); cdecl;
  procedure QButton_hook_hook_clicked2; external QtShareName name QtNamePrefix 
+ 'QButton_hook_hook_clicked';

  // this call works
  
QButton_hook_hook_clicked2(button_hook,integer(Method.code),integer(Method.data));
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



I hope this helps in fixing the arm-port. :-)


This is indeed an improper implemntation of the arm abi, I'll fix it asap. BTW: What OS do you run on your Zaurus? I've a lot of trouble with OZ 3.5.1 e.g. with that ridiculous dropbear ssh demon used by OZ 3.5.1
