Appendix B: Changes to the run time library

|
|
Some minor changes in the run time library have been made concerning the
|
|
external files (i.e. program arguments). The old compiler reserved
|
|
space for the file structures of the external files in one \fBhol\fR block.
|
|
In the new compiler, every file structure is placed in a separate \fBbss\fR
|
|
block. This implies that the arguments with which \fI_ini\fR is called are
|
|
slightly different. The second argument was the base of the \fBhol\fR block
|
|
to relocate the buffer addresses, it is changed into an integer denoting the
|
|
size of the array passed as third argument. The third argument was a pointer
|
|
to an array of integers containing the description of external files, this
|
|
argument is changed into a pointer to an array of pointers to file structures.
|
|
|
|
The differences in the generated EM code for an arbitrary Pascal program are
|
|
listed below (only the relevant parts are shown):

\fBprogram\fR external_files(output,f);
