Is this the right form to update hooks to OS4?

Hi, just updated hooktest.c to use OS4 hooks "mode". It works fine. IS this the right way if updating/coding? Or must I for every AllocSys.. add FreeSys..?

TIA

gcc hooktest2.c -o HookTest2 -Wall -lauto -gstabs

Of course! Each AllocSysObject() is an allocation so it must be deallocated, regardless of your using a single variable for the hook pointer.

I would call AllocSysObject

I would call AllocSysObject only once in the beginning and then only poke the new buffer pointer into hook->h_Data. You do this in your fmtfunct routine anyway, so it should be legal for the main routine, too.

Hi, as I'm not very good

Hi, as I'm not very good coder.
How do I "poke the new buffer pointer into hook->h_Data"?

BTW I found another way to get Year/Month/Day values:

 int32 D_today, M_today, Y_today;
 struct DateTime dt;
 char dt_str[11], buffer[11];
 // Get current date
 IDOS->DateStamp(&dt.dat_Stamp);
 dt.dat_Format  = FORMAT_ISO; // YYYY-MM-DD (dt_str "positions view" 0123-56-89)
 dt.dat_Flags   = 0;
 dt.dat_StrDay  = NULL;
 dt.dat_StrDate = dt_str;
 dt.dat_StrTime = NULL;
 IDOS->DateToStr(&dt);
 
 IUtility->Strlcpy(buffer, dt_str, 5); // copy only the YEAR
 IDOS->StrToLong(buffer, &Y_today);
 
 IUtility->Strlcpy(buffer, dt_str+5, 3); // "strange" mode to copy only the MONTH
 IDOS->StrToLong(buffer, &M_today);
 
 IUtility->Strlcpy(buffer, dt_str+8, 3); // "strange" mode to copy only the DAY
 IDOS->StrToLong(buffer, &D_today);

Is there a better/proper way to do what I'm trying to achieve (get Date and split YYYY MM DD into integer variables)?

TIA

uint32 seconds;struct

uint32 seconds;
struct DateStamp ds;
struct ClockData cd;
 
IDOS->DateStamp(&ds);
seconds = IDOS->DateStampToSeconds(&ds);
IUtility->Amiga2Date(seconds, &cd);

From utility/date.h:

struct ClockData
{
    UWORD sec;   /* 0..59 */
    UWORD min;   /* 0..59 */
    UWORD hour;  /* 0..23 */
    UWORD mday;  /* 1..31 */
    UWORD month; /* 1..12 */
    UWORD year;  /* 1978.. */
    UWORD wday;  /* 0..6; 0 == Sunday */
};
