Looking on the wiki http://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/Input_Device found that 'inputevent->ie_Qualifier = NULL' throws a "warning: assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast", changing to 'inputevent->ie_Qualifier = 0' solves it.

Should then the wiki example/doc where it says '...ie_Qualifier...NULL' be changed to '...ie_Qualifier...0', or maybe add a new #define IEQUALIFIER_ABSOLUTEMOUSE 0x0000?

SDK inputevent.h:

Code: Select all

..
struct InputEvent
{
    struct InputEvent *ie_NextEvent; /* the chronologically next event */
    uint8              ie_Class;     /* the input event class */
    uint8              ie_SubClass;  /* optional subclass of the class */
    uint16             ie_Code;      /* the input event code */
    uint16             ie_Qualifier; /* qualifiers in effect for the event */
..

Clearly the use of NULL to initialise a uint16 is going to cause an error. I'll try to correct it.

I've done this for you. Changed the bogus instruction

Absolute positioning is done by setting ie_Qualifier to NULL and relative positioning is done by setting ie_Qualifier to RELATIVE_MOUSE.

to the correct

Absolute positioning is done by setting ie_Qualifier to 0 and relative positioning is done by setting ie_Qualifier to IEQUALIFIER_RELATIVEMOUSE.

+ modified two more places where ie_Qualifier was set to NULL instead of 0.

The original C= NDK had NULL defined as an integer, use of GCC includes redefines this as a Pointer.
pointer vs integer inconsistency from that update.

not the only time I've seen it (TagItems are another use case to be clear with)

thx trixie for fixing the wiki and Belxjander for explanation about NULL diff.
