- Hello,
-
- I want to modify an existing program and don't undertand the following
- code:
-
- ..
-
- #define __far
-
- int __far x;
-
- ..
-
-
- Hm, it looks very simpel, but why does a progammer define something
- to put it infront of a variable? In the progam I want to modify most
- variables including struct's and register-variables are declared with
- this preprocessor-instruction. If you can explain the sense of souch an
- instruction, please send me an email.
-
-
- Thank you,
-
