I have a C++ program. I have three "global" constants that I wish to define
in assembler modules. Environment: prelinker, non-XPLINK, RENT.
Here is what I am doing now:
In the C++ at namespace scope:
extern const long FOO;
In the Assembler:
FOO DC F'123'
ENTRY FOO
The error I am getting from the prelinker is ERROR EDC4014: Undefined
writable static objects are detected: FOO
I suspect this is due to the fact that the C++ compiler and link magically
make static variables reentrant: if you say static int bar there is actually
one copy of bar for each executing instance of your program.
Does anyone know if there is some linkage or similar that I need to specify
on the extern declaration?
RTFM not much help -- everything I see refers to subroutines in Assembler,
not variables. Worst case I can wrap subroutines around the variables and
return their values, but that seems a little silly. (I have a lot of
experience with calling Assembler from C++.)
