That comes fron:
z/OS 2.5 XL C/C++ Programming Guide (SC14-7315-50)
Figure 52. Calling an intermediate XL C/C++ function
from Assembler using OS linkage
Yes, "intermediate" isa key word; akin to your "glue".
And printf is a particular challenge because it supports
a variable-length list of parameters of mixed types.
A moore general approach might be an assembler macro
that takes a list of (type,value) pairs ahd builds the
static reg1 PL.
A typical call might look like:
LABEL CCALL X(fprintf),(FILE*,stdout),(char*,FMTSTR),(long,INTVAL),..,
(punctuation is left as an exercise for the student,
who knows HLASM and C better than I)
Perhaps such a macro already exists; perhaps on CBTTAPE.ORG.
