Loadmaster (talk | contribs) →User exit?: that's fine |

Line 72:
:I think user exits ''differ'' from callbacks in that they are established by the user program not by being passed to a registration function, but by being linked directly into the executable image. Consequently, they must have the names of the routines they are replacing, instead of having any name the user desires. On the other hand, I think they ''resemble'' callbacks enough to be relevant to this article.
:Perhaps "user exit" should be a separate section in this article to explain how it compares to a "callback". Or perhaps it should have its own article? In any case, the term "user exit" should point to something informative in Wiki. — [[User:Loadmaster|Loadmaster]] 15:01, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
::I think we are in agreement that although similar in some cases the two terms are not synonymous. I have no problem with the redirect but i think the phrase 'a callback (also known as a user exit)' is incorrect. Would you be happy if this phrase was removed and reference was made to the term "user exit" elsewhere in the article? --[[User:Bleveret|Bleveret]] 15:45, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
:::Yeah, that would be fine. Like I said, we could simply add a subsection to the existing article. This would allow us to describe the distinction between the two, and perhaps later the subsection could be expanded into its own article. — [[User:Loadmaster|Loadmaster]] 20:20, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
