Hi everyone,
I'm seeing a result in the binder Cross-Reference table that looks odd; I hope
that someone can help me to understand.
I have two HLASM source modules, MODULEA and MODULEB (as below). Each generates
an object module.
MODULEA CSECT
WXTRN TARGET2
DC V(TARGET1)
DC V(TARGET2)
END
MODULEB CSECT
WXTRN TARGET1
DC V(TARGET1)
END
I linked these two object modules together (along with no other object
modules). As expected, neither TARGET1 nor TARGET2 are resolved by the binder.
But only TARGET1 generates an IEW2456E "unresolved symbol" error message, and
that much I understand.
In the binder output Cross-Reference table, this is what I see:
------------- R E F E R E N C E -------------------------- T A R G E T -----
CLASS ELEMENT |
OFFSET SECT/PART(ABBREV) OFFSET TYPE | SYMBOL(ABBREV) SECTION
(ABBREV)
|
0 MODULEA 0 V-CON | TARGET1 $UNRESOLVED
4 MODULEA 4 V-CON | TARGET2 $UNRESOLVED(W)
80 MODULEB 0 V-CON | TARGET1 $UNRESOLVED
What I don't understand is why TARGET1 is not reported as a *weak* unresolved
reference within MODULEB. In other words, I would have expected the third entry
in the table above to say $UNRESOLVED(W), because TARGET1 is declared as weak
in MODULEB.
I really just want to make sure that I'm interpreting what I see correctly. Any
help would be appreciated; thank you!
David
