But does gcclib need to be resident to allow rexx to be resident? And is loaded in high memory the same as resident? I am assuming so ...
The solution I am looking at seems very complex and brittle. Seems only to be needed for stdin and stdout. And I am not sure it works (I fear incompatible versions of assembler sources). I will light it up and see how it goes.?
Personally my reading of all the code is people are only using the traditional library and not the resident one, however by changing the GCC calling prologue it is doing potentially evil.
I am not being critical, we are all volunteers, and I am often wrong. I am just trying to report what I see and be transparent! Please don't anyone take offence :-)
Anyway I think I will test it. If it works, my bad, I will try harder.
If it does not work I will unwind all the weird stuff and make it a baseline traditional library. I hope this will still work for rexx (perhaps it will be too big to go into high mem?)
Then I will implement a resident library. Using a c static variable for stdin etc.
