Let me propose a few methods to get the position from your hypothetical
new position detector. You can then say why a locked-down C *must*
prohibit all of them.
(1) #include "tripos.h"
...
struct 3D_pos p = tripos_get_cur_pos();
(2) FILE *dev = fopen("dev://tri-position-finder", "rb");
...
struct 3D_pos p;
fread(&p, sizeof p, 1, dev);
(3) #include "tripos.h"
...
volatile struct tripos_control tpc;
tpc.command = TRIPOS_GET_CUR_POS;
if (tpc.position.x > 1.3) // and so on...
(4) void get_pos(void *vp)
{
_Pragma("DEVCTRL tipos load-position-via-praram #1");
}
...
struct 3D_pos p;
get_pos(&p);
--
Ben.
