3568.0. "Import a .glob value" by TAEC::SCHNEIDER () Tue May 13 1997 07:20

Hi,

In a C++ file, I want to access to a symbol defined in an assembler file
with the '.glob' directive.
If I import the symbol with the 'extern' directive, I don't
know the type of the symbol, so problem occurs...



Perhaps a pragma exists to do this, or any idea...


Thanks, Yves.

	What type would you like to access the symbol as? If you want to fetch, say, a four byte integer, "extern int symbol;" would be the right thing to do. Could you post the relavent lines of the .s file? Also your proposed access from C++ would be useful to know. Roland.
