C± ± Compiler

The syntax of the call is:

extern int FAR PASCAL LINK_MAIN (LPSTR source_file,LPSTR exe_file);

.....

ierr=LINK_MAIN (source_file,exe_file);

Where:

-source_file is the project file name, which contains the names of the files to be linked.

-exe_file is the name of the linked executable file.

-ierr is the total number of errors returned by the linker.

If errors occur during link, the error information is placed in a file with extension

.rer, with the same name as the executable file.

5.9 C± ± Compiler

The MSP50P614/MSP50C614 C± ± compiler is implemented as a Windows dynamic linked library (DLL). The current name of the DLL file is cmm6xx.dll. It can be invoked from any Windows program, provided that the user included the file called cmm6xx.lib in the Windows project.

The syntax of the call is:

extern int FAR PASCAL CMM_MAIN (LPSTR source_file,short *warn,

struct cmm_input *,struct error_struct *);

/* ..... */

#define MAX_LEN 256 LPSTR source_file; short w,i;

struct error_struct{ short pass; short type; short error_msg; short file_number; long line_number;

char info[MAXIDENTIFIER+1];

};

struct cmm_input{ short heap_st; short stack_st;

/* pass where error was detected */ /* type of error (error, warning */ /* error message number */

/* file number in object file table */

/* line number in file where error occurred */ /* character string containing some */ /*information on the error */

/* start of heap */ /* start of stack */
