RE: GENUUID

[Bruce Vining <bvining@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

There are many API names that start with an underscore, and most do 
require the use of a binding directory.  These tend to be APIs that are 
mapped from more readily recognized API names in order to support specific 
environments.  The printf API for instance can "become" _C_NEU_DM_printf, 
_C_NEU_DM_printf_ts64, _C_printf_ts64, _C_UCS2_printf, 
_C_UCS2_printf_ts64, _C_NEU_IFS_printf, _C_NEU_IFS_printf_ts64, 
_C_IFS_pritnf, or _C_IFS_printf_ts64.

MI instructions, which are prefixed with the underscore as is done for 
GENUUID, do not require a binding directory to be specified.  They may, 
however, require special handling in some high level languages -- COBOL 
being one that comes to mind where you need to also specify LINKAGE SYS.

RE: GENUUID






Interesting.  I did a DSPPGM of some of the programs in QC2LE and many of 
the exports begin with an underscore.
