- FYI:
-
- I have discovered a bug in TLINK for BCPP 3.1. This has been confirmed
- by Borland. The bug is that you cannot create a FIXED code segment
- with BCPP. Normally, and according to the Windows SDK, you would use
- the SEGMENTS directive in the module definition file for a DLL or EXE
- to declare a specific segment as FIXED. After much frustration, and
- many failed attempts to discuss this with Borland Tech support, Borland
- confirmed the problem. The Segment is marked in the DLL/EXE as being
- discardable. (I have discovered a work around, but it is both painful and
- forces one to perform a lot of overhead. If anybody is interested, I will
- give them my work around.)
