Chapter 12 / Link Technical Reference
the Linker loads the segments as:
'ZOO'
A
E
'BAZ'
B
C
'NEW'
D
If you are writing assembly language programs, you can control
the order of classes in memory by writing a dummy module and
listing it first after the linker's
Obj eet Modules:
prompt. The
dummy module declares segments into classes in the order you
want the classes loaded.
Warning: Do not use this method with BASIC,
COBOL, FORTRAN, or Pascal programs. Allow the
compiler and the linker to perform their tasks in the
normal way.
Example
A
SEGMENT 'CODE'
A ENDS
B
SEGMENT 'CONST'
B
ENDS
C
SEGMENT 'DATA'
C ENDS
D
SEGMENT STACK
'STACK'
D
ENDS
E SEGMENT 'MEMORY'
E ENDS
Make sure you declare all classes to be used in your program in
this module. If you do not, you lose absolute control over the
ordering of classes.
