Can the main() routine and CSECT share the same name in metal C?

  • 1.  Can the main() routine and CSECT share the same name in metal C?

    Posted 07/10/21 03:40 PM
    Hello,

    I'm trying to figure out if there is a way for the CSECT name and the main() routine to have the same name, for example, the CSECT and entry point names are both XYZENTRY.

    Looking at the discussion for #pragma csect and #pragma map would seem to indicate that it is not possible.

    If it isn't possible, what is the technical reason.  It is certainly possible in an assembler module.

    Thanks,
    Scott

    hi Scott,

    (posting on behalf of colleagues)
    Currently there is not a way for the CSECT name and the main() routine to have the same name. It is not a technical limitation and it is due to the way the code in the compiler (due to shared code between Metal C and regular C/C++ code) was written. if there is enough demand or need, compiler team can look to change it in a future release of the compiler.
