How can I segment a Palm OS 68K app?

Question

If you have a 68K application written using CodeWarrior for Palm OS, how do you assign individual functions to different segments without manually moving files on the segment tab in the IDE?

Answer 1

I use #pragma segment. Much simpler than the CodeWarrior segment tab.

#pragma segment Foo
some code

#pragma segment Bar
some code

Now your code is automatically placed in two different segments.

Answer 2

CW 68K linkers support this using .seg files added to your project.

Format

{ "<segment_name>" [= <hex>] "<name1>" ... "<namen>" }
"<segname1>" = "<segname2>"

/, . ( 0x) , Palm OS. . , "#pragma segment".
