|

|
|
<dd><p>External symbol or section (used for global variables) names are not
|
||
|
|
case sensitive on VAX/VMS and always mapped to upper case. This is
|
||
|
|
contrary to the C language definition which explicitly distinguishes
|
||
|
|
upper and lower case. To implement a standard conforming C compiler,
|
||
|
|
names must be changed (mapped) to preserve the case information. The
|
||
|
|
default mapping is to convert all lower case characters to uppercase and
|
||
|
|
adding an underscore followed by a 6 digit hex value, representing a 24
|
||
|
|
digit binary value. The one digits in the binary value represent which
|
||
|
|
characters are uppercase in the original symbol name.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The ‘<samp>-h <var>n</var></samp>’ option determines how we map names. This takes
|
||
|
|
several values. No ‘<samp>-h</samp>’ switch at all allows case hacking as
|
||
|
|
described above. A value of zero (‘<samp>-h0</samp>’) implies names should be
|
||
|
|
upper case, and inhibits the case hack. A value of 2 (‘<samp>-h2</samp>’)
|
||
|
|
implies names should be all lower case, with no case hack. A value of 3
|
||
|
|
(‘<samp>-h3</samp>’) implies that case should be preserved. The value 1 is
|
||
|
|
unused. The <code>-H</code> option directs <code>as</code> to display
|
||
|
|
every mapped symbol during assembly.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Symbols whose names include a dollar sign ‘<samp>$</samp>’ are exceptions to the
|
||
|
|
general name mapping. These symbols are normally only used to reference
|
||
|
|
VMS library names. Such symbols are always mapped to upper case.
