Hello Mike, >> thats not enterily true.... infact the only non-standard COFF format >> that exists in real life environments is the one produced by microshit >> compilers. (VC++ that is) MM> I don't know where you get this impression, my impression is entirely MM> different. I have been doing embedded real time development since 1984, MM> and find that every compiler uses COFF ever so slightly differently. In MM> fact, COFF is *intended* to be used that way. It has a special section MM> devoted to stuff the compiler wants to put in there, whatever it may MM> be. At least one GCC port I know of put all the program code into that MM> special section, and left the regular text section empty. mmmh well.... i have not been doing too much embedded stuff, my field is console/handheld (aka games ;)) programming ;) and all non-standard stuff i have seen there was produced by microshit or SN-system's raped gcc port. (which isnt publicly available thats why i didnt mention it before) MM> I'm glad to see that you're not just a stander by looking on and MM> complaining. well infact, i really wish i had the time to help even more with this project.... like finishing the filesystem-support that is laying around here for quite a while now (actually the basic stuff works already, just the code is somewhat bulky and clumsy c-code where it shouldnt be). MM> I think it is admirable what Ullrich has done. yes it is, definetly...... afterall the only really decent 65xx compiler that atleast mostly works like you would expect ;=) checkout the gameboy/z80 c-compiler and see how a compiler should not look like ;D -- Best regards, groepaz mailto:groepaz_at_gmx.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo_at_musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.
