Hi Joseph,
(posted on behalf of a colleague)
The M_WSA class is for Metal C reentrancy support. The PART name there is what
references the objects that are re-entrant. In the user's case, they have
openfile listed as a part meaning that either the function is considered an
object (not a function) that is reentrant (perhaps due to the expansion of the
BOOL macro in their environment) or that they have another reentrant object
somewhere that is named ‘openfile’ (they can pre-process the source to check
which case it is). The error they get from the assembler indicates the latter
case. i.e. They have another definition or reference to an object named
‘openfile’ somewhere in their source (or their include file chain).
Hope this helps?
