| Documenting Unknown Functions

Previous | General Information about TIGCC | Next

The TIGCC Library still contains a lot of unknown functions. They are defined in unknown.h. For some of them, prototypes are already available; some are even partially documented. Others are completely unknown.
If you have information about one of these functions (also from TI's documentation, but you may not simply copy the information there for copyright reasons), please take the time to document it. The way to do this is very simple, and you will be doing everyone using this library a big favor.
At first, you need the TIGCC source code, available from the TIGCC Website. Set up the documentation system according to the `Readme` file, and check whether you can update at least the header files by running `UpdateInclude.exe`.
To document a file, or to change the file's prototype, you simply need to edit the appropriate `.hsf` file in the `unknown.h` subfolder of the help system. If you have enough documentation to move it to another header file, simply move the `.hsf` file to the appropriate folder, and update all links from and to the file. (For links from other files to this one, you will probably want to use a string replacement program to make the conversion automatically.) Then run `UpdateInclude.exe` on both the new folder and on `unknown.h` (if it used to be in `unknown.h`). Now you will be able to view your documentation in a web browser, and test the function with its new prototype.
When you are finished, please simply send the resulting `.hsf` file to Doc@tigcc.ticalc.org. We prefer compressed files because mail systems sometimes mess up attached text files, but it doesn't really matter a lot.
