How should I call a 31-bit routine from a 64-bit routine? Obviously the
64-bit routine will have had to allocate all its storage below the bar.
But what about linkage? In assembler, it's pretty well documented. What
about higher level languages? To be specific, I have a chunk of C code
that needs to call a 31-bit interface. It's easy to compile it for
31-bit or 64-bit, but the latter doesn't link. (No real surprise there;
just disappointment.)
I've looked over what docs I can find and don't see any way to cast the
call or explicitly tell the compiler "we're changing AMODE for this
one". Now am thinking it's either something really easy but not widely
known or it's just not possible. Which is it? Thanks.
For so long, z and selected other platforms are harmoniously bi-modal.
Never worried about it, but now found something that isn't playing nice.
Okay, so "C" might not fit the HL in HLL as much as others, but it's
still LE.
