I guess I was thinking of this too closely to CC65.
For us, fgets() is part of a common library which could
(in theory) be built into its own library and linked
with the target machines library. However, as it
currently stands each target has its own lib.
For a 'portable' library to work it would need to contain
each target's implementation. A clever linker might be
able to remove the redundant (non-target) routines
as somewhere in the code a decision must be made as to
which function to call. E.g:
DrawLine(x1,y1,x2,y2)
{
switch (getsystype())
{
case SYS_ATARI: atari_DrawLine(x1,y1,x2,y2); break;
case SYS_CBM64: cbm64_DrawLine(x1,y1,x2,y2); break;
...
}
}
I guess this could work if each function was in its own .o file.
Does LD65 handle this?
Regards,
Mark
