That looks good to me. Make sure that you setup the parameter lists
correctly. C/C++ are call by value languages. The code path for calling
a routine is just a few instructions. It loads LE control blocks into
registers and then uses BSM to invoke the routine.
You certainly will need LE if your calling C/C++ code other than Metal/C.
You only need XPLINK if your C/C++ programs are compiled XPLINK. I
always use XPLINK because it almost always generates faster code but the
subroutine linkage is very different to OS linkage and you have to take
that into consideration when debugging.

I have been looking at the LE documentation now for days and still not sure
what I need to do to have my Assembler program call C or C++ programs. I need
this interface to be very efficient because I will be calling these subroutines
maybe more than a 1,000,000 times a day. What I have come up with is to use
CEEPIPI to build the environment.
LA R5,PPTBL GET ADDRESS OF PIPI TABLE
ST R5,@CEXPTBL CEEXPTBL-ADDR -> PIPI TABLE
L R15,PPRTNPTR GET ADDRESS OF CEEPIPI ROUTINE
* INVOKE CEEPIPI ROUTINE
CALL (15),(INITSUB,@CEXPTBL,@SRVRTNS,RUNTMOPT,TOKEN)
I will have three subroutines so I think I need to put each one of these
routines in the preinit table.
Now I think I need to use CEEPIPI again when I want to call each subroutine.
ST R11,PARM
L R15,PPRTNPTR GET ADDRESS OF CEEPIPI ROUTINE
CALL (15),(CALLSUB,PTBINDEX,TOKEN,PARM, X
SUBRETC,SUBRSNC,SUBFBC) INVOKE CEEPIPI ROUTINE
Note:
Note: The C routines have not been created yet, so I can't try these things out.
Questions:
1) Do I have it correct?
2) Do I even need LE?
3) The book talks about XPLINK. I don't quite understand it. Is this something
I should explore more?
