The following file:

  extern const char cdecl x86_type;
  #pragma alias (x86_type, "x86_type")
 int main (void) {}

causes an internal error:

  e:\net\watt\src>dmc test.c
  Internal error: nwc 749

I need the alias to avoid the '_' prefix. The variable is allocated in an external asm-file.

--gv

For now, you can:

1) change the .asm file
2) use __pascal instead of __cdecl
3) use patchobj to change the name in the .obj file

The c/asm sources are compiled with other compilers too
(into a lib), so that's not an option. Will it be fixes in next
version? I'm using the latest. AFAICT it's 8.33.13.

Patchobj will still work - you can use it on the output of DMC.
