OpenDevice() return type discrepancies

Post by AlfredOne »

Hello,
in SDK53.20 ,the return type of OpenDevice(...) is declared:
1) 'BYTE' in clib/exec_protos.h
2) 'LONG' in interfaces/exec.h

Should they be equal?

Not really. <clib/xxx_protos.h> includes are only for legacy M68k programs. <interfaces/xxx.h> files define the new PPC interfaces used by AmigaOS 4.x native programs.
