- I appreciated your Linker trivia. and wanted to bounce something off of
- you.
-
- The %_Methtables segment contains the dispatching information only for
- functions which use PASCAL calling conventions, correct?
-
- So, could one take an application which was into the model -far case
- and bring it back under the limits by making non-macapp methods of
- the hierarchy use C++ calling conventions?
-
- Even if the above paragraph is technically correct, is there some
- reason other than support for object pascal to avoid this strategy?
-
- I have an application that overextended the bounds recently and
- still has a ways to go in development. If I can get it to compile without
- using modelf -far at ship time, it would be excellent (bettter performance).
-
- one last question:
- In segmenting an application (black magic), it would be useful if there
- were a spell for detecting cross segment function calls. Can anyone
- offer a suggestion on how to illumate these? (incantations, runes to be
- etched on nearby surfaces... etc.)
-
- hoping to tune up my hoggish application,
- Dave
