How to call #pragma segment Foo on Garnet OS

Question

I've read this excellent tutorial about segments in palm:

http://onboardc.sourceforge.net/UsersManual.html#segments

But developing with Garnet OS Development Suite, the command "#pragma segment Foo" isn't recognized by the compiler, it warns me: "Warning: ignoring pragma"

Is there an option to enable this pragma segment?

Answer 1

#pragma directives are always compiler-dependent. The tutorial you're reading is specifically about the OnBoard C compiler.

IIRC, the Garnet OS (nee Palm OS) Development Suite (do they now refer to it as GODS instead of PODS now?) is based on prc-tools. You can check the prc-tools documentation about using multiple segments. If you're using Eclipse, I think it's supposed to let you create multi-segmented applications. (I've never personally used that, however. I did find a page with some notes about the process.)

The old Palm OS Programming FAQ also describes some general ways to deal with the 32K limit.
