The Not-So-Simple FAT jGNEFilter
Original Code by Matt Slot (fprefect@umich.edu), 6/2/95
with help and criticism (lots!) from Ed Wynne (arwyn@umich.edu).
modified by Paul Baxter (pbaxter@assistivetech.com).4/17/97
Quick Intro
Since jGNEFilters are nasty things in 68k, and pretty much impossible
in PPC, writing simple and cross-compiling handler code is also. To
facilitate use of this, I have written some interface routines to hide
some of the complexity from the application programmer.
/ Ptr InstallEventFilter(FilterHelperUPP helperProc, Ptr helperData);
| Installs a jGNEFilter which can properly call a callback from within
| the application. The callback handles incoming events wither either
| 68k or PPC code, and gets passed the data pointer you send from here.
| Install() returns a pointer the jGNEFilter installed in the system heap
| or NIL to indicate an error.
/ Ptr ReleaseEventFilter(Ptr filterProc);
| Pass in the pointer to the jGNEFilter, and this routine will disable
| the handling and try to dispose of its storage in the System Heap.
| You *must* do this if your helper function is going to disappear when
| the application closes.
/ asm void EventFilter(void);
| This is *not* the installed jGNEFilter... well not really. There is no way
| to get the same code to compile on both 68K and PPC, so this routine is
| just a demo function. The real code has been disassembled from the 68k
| source and placed into a Hex String suitable for StuffHex()'ing into the
| System Heap on both 68K and PPC machines. Note that the code simply calls
| the ProcPtr for the Helper function blindly... whether 68k or PPC.
| WARNING: Changing the EventFilter() will do nothing! -- to apply changes,
| you need to take the modified 68K machine code and refresh the declared
| kGNEFilterHexData string constant.
/ void EventFilterHelper(EventRecord *theEvent, Ptr helperData);
| This callback is the workhorse of the event filter. Once installed, this
| routine sees every event that gets harvested and has an opportunity to
| modify the record before the front application gets to see it. Ideally
| this function can do the necessary work itself or pass off the event info
| to the home application.
| WARNING: For 68k code, the routine will be called from the current app's
| context (A5/Globals, Rsrc File, HeapZone). PPC code will have a valid RTOC
| (Globals access) but not Rsrc File, HeapZone, etc.
How this all works:
Since I didn't want to write the jGNEFilter in C (OK, I couldn't figure out
how to), the code is installed as raw 68k by StuffHex()'ing a precompiled
routine -- identical to the one as declared below -- into the System Heap.
The jGNEFilter keeps 3 pieces of data inline: the next filter in the chain,
a pointer to the helper routine, and some extra data to pass to the helper.
Most importantly, we may not be able to remove the filter from the calling
chain... the architecture just doesn't permit it! If we are able to safely
pull the filter out, we do. Otherwise the next best solution is to keep a flag,
that we can clear when we want to disable the functionality -- in fact, we
set or clear the pointer to the Helper Proc as the flag.
Finally, the helper function is the meat of our jGNEFilter; it does the work
of the active filter. In the case of a 68K helper, it is accessed via a
simple ProcPtr. In the case of a PPC helper, the installer sets up a valid
RoutineDescriptor (in the System Heap with the jGNEFilter) to invoke a
MixedMode switch between the 68K caller (filter) and PPC routine (helper).
Again, when releasing the filter the handler disposes the descriptor and
clear the inline ProcPtr/flag, since the helper function will probably be
disappearing when the application quits.
If you are picking out events to handle within your app, my suggestion is to
keep a secondary Queue of events in the System Heap -- remember, you must
allocate new EventRecords (since the current event belongs to the calling
app) into the System Heap (you need a heap that both the current process and
your own process can access). Given these events, your main event loop can
suck out clicks or keydowns for dispatching internally and safely within your
own context.
Also, Text Service windows don't receive Activate or Update events... you
must check for those manually within your own event loop and handle them.
