Strange behavior DrawImage() in AROS (SOLVED)

[aGGreSSor]

I have compiled two versions of the classic example  on using the function ImageDraw() in Intuition: old from AmigaOS 3 and new for AmigaOS 4.

simpleimage.c work in AmigaOS 3:


but simpleimage.c don't work in AROS (AROS One and IcarOS)


simpleimage_os4.c work in AmigaOS 4:


I think I've already met this error 20 years ago, but then it was on a real amiga and it was about placing the image in the chip memory.
I went through all the memory type from exec/memory.h and didn't achieve the result..

Unfortunately, this prevents compilation of old good Workbench applications.
I would like to understand why this is happening. Source and executable files included.

My first bet would be that it is endianess related. The image is collection of WORDs. Try flipping the bytes in each element of the array.

Oh, you are absolutely right!

I flipped the bytes:

Code: [Select]

#ifdef __AROS__       // little-endian (i386, x86_64)
WORD myImageData[] =
    {
    0xFFFF, 0x00FF,
    0x00C0, 0x0003,
    0x00C0, 0x0003,
    0x00C0, 0x0003,
    0x00C0, 0x0003,
    0x00C0, 0x0003,
    0x00C0, 0x0003,
    0x00C0, 0x0003,
    0x00C0, 0x0003,
    0xFFFF, 0x00FF,
    };
#else                  // Big-endian (m68, ppc)
WORD myImageData[] =
    {
    0xFFFF, 0xFF00,
    0xC000, 0x0300,
    0xC000, 0x0300,
    0xC000, 0x0300,
    0xC000, 0x0300,
    0xC000, 0x0300,
    0xC000, 0x0300,
    0xC000, 0x0300,
    0xC000, 0x0300,
    0xFFFF, 0xFF00,
    };
#endif

and got what I wanted:


Thank you!

I recommend
#if AROS_BIG_ENDIAN (#if, not #ifdef ! )
https://aros.sourceforge.io/documentation/developers/app-dev/portable.php#endianness

If you check for only for __AROS__ you'll get wrong endianess on 68k.

Thank you! I didn't know that, I will take note.
