Re: looking at compiler output?

Well, yes someone does. Rick (alas, long gone) found a Windows syntax requirement for calling high order comm. ports using such a tool. Anyone who can use such a tool probably already knows what it is ;)

I suspect the present problem may be the calling convention (per the latest response). I remember getting bit by the Pascal vs. C calling convention once myself (ouch!).

Subject: [sftalk] looking at compiler output?

A somewhat related question...
     Does anyone still look at the assembly language generated by C (or
C++) compilers? Can the compilers still be coerced into spitting out
the assembly listing?
     Back in the old days, when I wanted to understand undocumented or
poorly documented calling conventions, I would write a known-working C
program and then look at the assembly. It wasn't particularly
insightful or sophisticated but it did work.

We are trying to call a Swiftforth-generated DLL from a C++ routine, and
are
getting access violations that do not tell us much - has anyone
succeeded in
making calls to a forth-generated DLL from C++, and could you give us
some
advice? Is there something we need to do when using export: , or perhaps
there were other lessons learned in the process? Thanks.
