Good thought. I wondered about that. I probably should have tried that before
posting the question.
But no, unfortunately, it does not seem to do that. It "absorbs" the struct and
just generates absolute offsets.
Long story short, I used (just for play) my C struct that maps the CVT. Given
the following (admittedly nonsense) C code
#include "zOScvt.h"
void foo()
{
struct cvt *cvtPtr;
static int bar;
cvtPtr = (struct cvt *)16;
bar = cvtPtr->cvtdate;
bar++;
}
The Metal C compiler generated
* bar = cvtPtr->cvtdate;
L 14,56(,14) (*)cvt.cvt.cvtdate
ST 14,@6bar
and no DSECT.

Isn't that effectively part of what Metal C does for a living?
