OS9 Modules</A +></H1 +><P +> Since version 2.5, LWASM is able to generate OS9 modules. The syntax is +basically the same as for other assemblers. A module starts with the MOD +directive and ends with the EMOD directive. The OS9 directive is provided +as a shortcut for writing system calls. </P +><P +> LWASM does NOT provide an OS9Defs file. You must provide your own. Also note +that the common practice of using "ifp1" around the inclusion of the OS9Defs +file is discouraged as it is pointless and can lead to unintentional +problems and phasing errors. Because LWASM reads each file exactly once, +there is no benefit to restricting the inclusion to the first assembly pass. </P +><P +> It is also critical to understand that unlike many OS9 assemblers, LWASM +does NOT maintain a separate data address counter. Thus, you must define +all your data offsets and so on outside of the mod/emod segment. It is, +therefore, likely that source code targeted at other assemblers will require +edits to build correctly. </P +><P +> LWLINK does not, yet, have the ability to create OS9 modules from object +files. </P +></DIV +><DIV +CLASS="NAVFOOTER" +><HR +ALIGN="LEFT" +WIDTH="100%"><TABLE +SUMMARY="Footer navigation table" +WIDTH="100%" +BORDER="0" +CELLPADDING="0" +CELLSPACING="0" +><TR +><TD +WIDTH="33%" +ALIGN="left" +VALIGN="top" +><A +HREF="x24.html" +ACCESSKEY="P" +>Prev</A +></TD +><TD +WIDTH="34%" +ALIGN="center" +VALIGN="top" +><A +HREF="index.html" +ACCESSKEY="H" +>Home</A +></TD +><TD +WIDTH="33%" +ALIGN="right" +VALIGN="top" +><A +HREF="x35.html" +ACCESSKEY="N" +>Next</A +></TD +></TR +><TR +><TD +WIDTH="33%" +ALIGN="left" +VALIGN="top" +>DECB Binaries</TD +><TD +WIDTH="34%" +ALIGN="center" +VALIGN="top" +><A +HREF="c18.html" +ACCESSKEY="U" +>Up</A +></TD +><TD +WIDTH="33%" +ALIGN="right" +VALIGN="top" +>Object Files</TD +></TR +></TABLE +></DIV +></BODY +></HTML +> \ No newline at end of file
