Re: [MiNT] Gemdos function: Super()

Hello!

There is no use at all of Super(). Super() is strictly deprecated and should not be used at all under FreeMiNT. It's a very bad design issue that ATARI invented Super() into the GEMDOS. Only due to compatibility requirements this system call is still available ...


Ok, should I prefer supexec() no problem with this?


No, the same apply to Supexec(). You don't need any supervisor access at all as normal application.

But when it's an AES what should we do? because AES is not launch in supervisor mode. And to know timer we can use Ssystem() but only on Mint, I can write my own my_Ssystem() to work on all systems of course, I probably do it, perhaps better should be emulate in Mintlib?

Other question: Is it possible to have a notification from Mint for the AES that an application crash or stop? Except looking in U:/PROC/*.id some time.
