dbi_close() and sql_close() mismatch?

naz · **Author**

Not completely sure if I'm right here, but in mysql_amxx sql_close is defined like this (only listing declaration):

Code:

static cell AMX_NATIVE_CALL sql_close(AMX *amx, cell *params)

while in dbi.inc dbi_close is declared like this:

Code:

native dbi_close(&Sql:_sql);

sql_close() does return a value (1 or 0), whilst dbi_close() doesn't.
Is this an error, or just "meant to be"?

All natives have the same declaration in C. They're not a one to one correspondence like that.

static - the function is static
cell - the function returns a single cell
AMX_NATIVE_CALL - the calling convention the VM wants
sql_close - the function name
AMX *amx - the instance of the VM calling the native
cell *params - the array of parameters on the stack
