/* Useful definition for casting function pointers:
 * hook.h_SubEntry = (HOOKFUNC)AFunction
 */
typedef unsigned long (*HOOKFUNC)();

/* Hook calling conventions.
 *
 * The function pointed to by Hook.h_Entry is called with the following
 * parameters:
 *
 *	A0 - pointer to hook data structure itself
 *	A1 - pointer to parameter structure ("message")
 *	A2 - Hook specific address data ("object")
 *
 * Control will be passed to the routine h_Entry.  For many
 * High-Level Languages (HLL), this will be an assembly language
 * stub which pushes registers on the stack, does other setup,
 * and then calls the function at h_SubEntry.
 *
 * The standard C receiving code is:
 *
 *    HookFunc(struct Hook *hook, APTR object, APTR message)
 *
 * Note that register natural order differs from this convention for C
 * parameter order, which is A0,A2,A1.
 *
 * The assembly language stub for "vanilla" C parameter conventions
 * could be:
 *
 * _hookEntry:
 *	move.l	a1,-(sp)		; push message packet pointer
 *	move.l	a2,-(sp)		; push object pointer
 *	move.l	a0,-(sp)		; push hook pointer
 *	move.l	h_SubEntry(a0),a0	; fetch C entry point ...
 *	jsr	(a0)			; ... and call it
 *	lea	12(sp),sp		; fix stack
 *	rts
 *
 * With this function as your interface stub, you can write a Hook setup
 * function as:
 *
 * InitHook(struct Hook *hook, ULONG (*c_function)(), APTR userdata)
 * {
 * ULONG (*hookEntry)();
 *
 *     hook->h_Entry	= hookEntry;
 *     hook->h_SubEntry = c_function;
 *     hook->h_Data	= userdata;
 * }
 *
 * With a compiler capable of registerized parameters, such as SAS C, you
 * can put the C function in the h_Entry field directly. For example, for
 * SAS C:
 *
 *   ULONG __saveds __asm HookFunc(register __a0 struct Hook *hook,
 *				   register __a2 APTR	      object,
 *				   register __a1 APTR	      message);
 *
