Hi, I was going thru the POL library documentation and i encountered this term. Can anybody please throw a light as what it is.
There was a white paper on the Metrowerks site about this, but I don't know where it went.
Basically, this is a code generation mode where the 68K compiler uses the A4 register to refer to certain classes of data: C++ virtual tables, exception handler tables, "const" data that has embedded pointers, and RTTI tables. It's designed for very large applications using C++ that can't fit all of their data into 64K. To use it, you must use the expanded mode runtime, and you have to generate wrapper code for any callback routines. It's complicated, but a few MW customers have made very good use of it.
