ID Number: Q61502

5.10 | 5.10

MS-DOS | OS/2

Summary:

When you use the .MODEL directive followed by a parameter (for

example, C, FORTRAN, etc.), there is no means of having the procedures

considered private.

The Microsoft Macro Assembler automatically makes all procedure names

PUBLIC. This is a feature of the assembler. This information can be

found on Page 34 in the "High-Level-Language Support" section of the

"Microsoft Macro Assembler" version 5.1 update manual.

More Information:

An example using the C parameter following the .MODEL directive is as

follows:

;PUBLIC myadd was required in version 5.0 of MASM to declare

; the procedure public.

.MODEL MEDIUM,C

.CODE

myadd PROC arg1:WORD, arg2:WORD

mov ax,arg1

add ax,arg2

ret

myadd ENDP

END
