Hi gcc team, does gcc (for i386 targets) support "far pointer addressing" ? or is it planned to be added ? Currently i only found this in the openWatcom compiler. What i'm thinking of is for example a keyword "far" which makes the declared object be accessed using an IA32 48 bit far pointer consisting of 16 bit selector and 32 bit offset. I know that one has to prepare an appropriate descriptor in the GDT or LDT to make this addressing work. thanks a lot for your answer.
