Hello.
I had difficulties to setup MSG port and IO port for the program I did...
Now that these functions are obsolete, I'd likt to update them to new methods...
In SDK 53.30 Autodocs exec.doc, these functions are always in
Not updated.
Does someone can give me a clue on how I can replace these functions :
- CreateMsgPort
- DeleteMsgPort
- CreateIORequest
- DeleteIORequest
Thank you.
Regards,

See AllocSysObject, FreeSysObject.

Ok.
In fact they want to reduce the amount of library functions creating more complex replacements. Right ?
Thank you for this information, I will check doc to see how they work.

No, there AllocSysObject() option ensures correct memory allocation, allows options for future resource tracking etc, they are more future proof.

I've made the changes. The program compiles. I hope I used the correct tags for the job to be done.
Thank you.

It also precludes the use of memory pools or an AlloctaskMemEntry() list for easily freeing all memory at once when exiting a program.
