Dear Walter,

Here is a request to implement sharing of specifically marked data segments (instead of marking the entire data sharable), similar to VC implementation. i.e. Currently, there is no data_seg pramga in DMC. (Or is there?...)

#pragma data_seg(".shared")
int i;
char s[30];
Myclass mc;
#pragma data_seg()

Please comment.

There is currently no mechanism for naming the data segment from the compiler.

The program patchobj, however, can rename it with:

    patchobj test.obj -l_DATA _SHARED

which will rename the _DATA segment to _SHARED. You can verify this working with obj2asm. You'll also need to segregate all the data going into _SHARED into a separate source file.

I have 'patchobj' circa 1995, it does not support -I flag. The latest distribution does not contain a newer version. How can I obtain the proper version?

Other than that, this looks like a workable solution.

Thanks!
I made a mistake in reading l_DATA as I_DATA... (The switch is ell not
eye! - The two look exactly identical in Arial.)

Even the old one supports that. I found out after the new one failed on 'eye' also. The results are identical and could be verified by dumpobj.

Thanks again.
