Section address operator (__sectop/__secend)

This is a section address operator.

[Function]

-	The start address of section-name specified with __sectop is referenced.

-	The end address of section-name +1 specified with __sectop is referenced.

-	The return type of __sectop( ) and __secend( ) is void __far*.

-	Addition and subtraction between the value obtained by __sectop or __secend and a constant should not be used.

[Usage]

__sectop("section-name")

__secend("section-name")

[Example]

The following shows a sample C source code.

const struct {

        void __far *rom_s;

        void __far *rom_e;

} DTBL[]={__sectop("XXX"), __secend("XXX")};

The following shows the declarations in the assembly source code.

        .PUBLIC         _DTBL

        .SECTION        .const, CONST

        .ALIGN          2

_DTBL:

        .DB2    LOWW(STARTOF(XXX))                    ;Lower-order 2 bytes of rom_s

        .DB     LOW(HIGHW(STARTOF(XXX)))              ;Least significant byte rom_s

        .DB     0x00

        .DB2    LOWW(STARTOF(XXX)+SIZEOF(XXX))        ;Lower-order 2 bytes of rom_e

        .DB     LOW(HIGHW(STARTOF(XXX)+SIZEOF(XXX)))  ;Least significant byte rom_e

        .DB     0x00
