Hello,

I am having trouble getting gpc to call external function names the way I would like. According to builtin.texi, there is a directive called 'Asmname' which should allow for case sensitive function names.

However when I declare:

function WinInitialize(fsoptions : u_long) : u_long; Asmname; [u_long is a type defined elsewhere]

gpc responds with a parse error on the line. What is the correct format for using the 'Asmname' directive? -- I couldn't find it mentioned anywhere else in the docs.

Using C or EXTERN in place of Asmname it produces calls to _wininitialize or _Wininitialize, neither of which I want.

You must give asmname an argument -- the name you would like to have in the object code. So, if you would like to have '_MyMixedCaseName', you do:

function MyMixedCaseName: integer; asmname 'MyMixedCaseName';

It also allows this:

function MyOtherName: integer; asmname 'MyMixedCaseName';

Hope this helps,
