This one was written as a support program, for my patch.library.
It patches the exec.library/SetFunction() to use patch.library
instead of the normal OS-function.
This version now requires at least kickstart V2.0 (V37).
This release of PatchSetFunc (V2.0) fixes the following bugs:
V2.0 ENHANCEMENT: Ported some parts of PatchSetFunc from asm to C
ENHANCEMENT: PatchSetFunc now requires at least Kickstart V2.0
ENHANCEMNET: PatchSetFunc now accepts commandline options for
setting certain parameters in patch.library. Setting the
BreakForbid option may fix problems some people had with
recoverable alerts from PatchSetFunc.
ENHANCEMENT: Included the latest patch.library V6 BETA
V1.54 FIX: GPFax was excluded from PatchSetFunc.
It read directly from jumptables and therefore refused to exit.
ENHANCEMENT: Included the new patch.library V6 BETA
DOCUMENTATION: Added note about patch.library V5+
not working with VMM (Virtual Memory Manager)
V1.53 FIX: Included the latest patch.library, which fixes possible crashes
with PatchSetFunc. (This bug is more likely to show up with
PatchSetFunc V1.50 and up)
ENHANCEMENT: Removed some unnessary debug code.
V1.52 FIX: reenabled use with Executive, as V2.0 seems to work alright
FIX: No longer used for the monitor-program MSM (see Compatibility)
ENHANCEMENT: Included the latest patch.library V5 release
V1.51 FIX: In an attempt to get rid off direct reads to AbsExecBase in V1.41
I didn't always access the new field pc-relativ.
(This fixes crashes, when installing and removing patches)
(I still wonder how it could ever work on my system )
ENHANCEMENT: Anyway PatchSetFunc is fully pc-relativ now.
ENHANCEMENT: Included the latest patch.library V5 beta
V1.50 FIX: PatchSetFunc could cause crashes when patching various
exec.library functions.
This was also why the ReleaseSemphore patch of RetinaEmu (see V1.42)
crashed.
(This bug has been fixed, patches to ReleaseSemaphore() are reenabled.)
V1.44 ENHANCEMENT: Removed some unnessary debug code
V1.43 ENHANCEMENT: Workarounds for the NoBorder options of MCP and NewIcons
(Note: All known No-Icon-Border programs depend on the value 8 residing
on the stack to find out, if Workbench indents to draw icon borders or
something else. This was never documented and may fail with future
versions of the OS)
DOCUMENTATION: Problems with NoIconBorder
V1.42 FIX: No longer patches the exec.library function ReleaseSemaphore()
(This fixes crashes with RetinaEmu)
V1.41 ENHANCEMENT: Sets a private bit in the patch.library base structure,
if active.
DOCUMENTATION: Problems with NoDraw & NoFill
V1.40 ENHANCEMENT: Automatically extends the stack to at least 2000 bytes
for each patch, if patch.library V5+ is installed
