5.2.6 Absolute
The Absolute section contains the Absolute records, if any were
declared. First is the Absolute Header Record, which contains:
#define Abs_Count count
Where count is the number of Absolutes defined in the SCRIPTS
program.
The second section is the Character Array of all Absolute names used,
it contains:
char *Absolute_Names[Abs_Count] = {
Abs_String1,
Abs_String2,
.
.
Abs_Stringn
};
Where Abs_Stringn is the name of the Absolute being defined.
Third is the Absolute Value Definition, which contains:
#define A_name value
Where name is the name of the Absolute and value is the value assigned
to this Absolute in the SCRIPTS program.
The final part of the Absolute record is the Offset Array, which lists the
offsets in the SCRIPTS array where each Absolute is used. It is the same
as the offset array used for External buffers, except that the array names
are of the format
A_name_Used where name is the name of the Absolute.
The last two sections of the Absolute record, Absolute Value Definition
and Offset Array, are repeated for every Absolute defined in the
SCRIPTS program.
Command line switches also effect the output of absolute. Using the -o
compiler option includes all items mentioned above in the output file.
Using the
-p option omits the Offset Array from the output file. An
example of the output generated using each compiler option is listed
below.
