CRTL, DECC$CRTL_INIT
*Conan The Librarian
|
Allows you to call the Compaq C RTL from other languages or to
use the Compaq C RTL when your main function is not in C. It
initializes the run-time environment and establishes both an exit
and condition handler. VAXC$CRTL_INIT is a synonym for DECC$CRTL_
INIT. Either name invokes the same routine.
Format
#include <signal.h>
void DECC$CRTL_INIT(void);
The following example shows a Pascal program that calls the
Compaq C RTL using the DECC$CRTL_INIT function:
$ PASCAL EXAMPLE1
$ LINK EXAMPLE1
$ TY EXAMPLE1.PAS
PROGRAM TESTC(input, output);
PROCEDURE DECC$CRTL_INIT; extern;
BEGIN
DECC$CRTL_INIT;
END
A shareable image need only call this function if it contains
an Compaq C function for signal handling, environment variables,
I/O, exit handling, a default file protection mask, or if it is a
child process that should inherit context.
Although many of the initialization activities are performed only
once, DECC$CRTL_INIT can safely be called multiple times.
At least one frame in the current call stack must have that
handler established for OpenVMS exceptions to get mapped to UNIX
signals.
