Re: @far directive not working as expected

toolchain. You don't seem to even have established whether it's the
compiler or the linker whose behaviour you object to.
I am not sure, but I think it is the linker whose behaviour is causing
me trouble. It may be my syntax and/or the compiler. I really don't
know.


It is using 3 byte(ie far) addressing, BUT it stuck the bloody thing
in near space.

And why is that bad? Is that architecture of addressing functions as
"far" if they are in "near space"? Are you running out of "near"
space?
That is bad because I wanted it in far space. I tried to put in far
space for a reason. Near space is my limiting factor right now.


I am using a Motorolla 9s12DG128 with the cosmic compiler v 4.6a.

Now here's some information you really should have put a lot further
up in your post. Possibly in the Subject:.

OK, maybe should have been higher in the post. At least I included it.
