Couple of coding related questions...

[Paolo]

Hi, I just started deving for my PSP last night, I'm currently porting some of my
old GBA code to it, but few questions arised. (n00b questions, I know, but after
whole night of coding U're sometimes just too lazy to dig...

First one is simple: What is PSP's pixel format? My guess would be xbbbbbgggggrrrrr...
Getting even close?

Second one: How come I can't use the 'address of' operator (&). Compiler says
"parse error before '&' token". Is this some kind of C vs. C++ issue...?

Third one: How come booleans are not supported? Or are they?

Fourth: Why can't I use sin() function, even if I include <math.h>? That's not
a big deal, of course I use a lookup, just made me wonder...

I set up my environment using the step by step help from this forum. (Thanks
for the writer, btw!)

Any help appreciated!!! :clap:

I don't remember right off the bat, but look in the sample files, there are a ton of examples that you can probably discern this from

Second one: How come I can't use the 'address of' operator (&). Compiler says

I don't know... it worked for me, I just tried

int whatever = TRUE;
int* myptr   = &whatever;

And I got no errors.

Third one: How come booleans are not supported? Or are they?

Apparently they arent. Put this at the top of your program and use type int instead of bool.

#define FALSE 0
#define TRUE  1
int yourbool = TRUE;

Fourth: Why can't I use sin() function, even if I include <math.h>? That's not
a big deal, of course I use a lookup, just made me wonder...

You have to link the library in your makefile, I believe the math header is linked with -lm

Good luck with your coding
