Hi all,
I think, I have some misconceptions about compiling modules :-(
Say, I have a module interface unit modA.hxx and a module implementation
unit modA.cxx for module A. If I compile modA.hxx I get the bmi in
gcm.cache and a file modA.o. I need the bmi to compile the modA.cxx, but
this overrides modA.o. This does not harm, since modA.o from modA.hxx
looks more or less empty. Linking with the (overridden) file modA.o does
work.
If I compile modA.hxx to modA_h.o and modA.cxx to modA_i.o and use
these two files for linking, it works as well. And if I only use
modA_i.o, it also works.
So, what is the intent to compile a module interface unit also to a .o
file? In my understanding it should only generate a bmi file.
Additionally, if I have some modules in different directories but with
same file-names, the files in gcm.cache resemble that directory
structure, but the .o files are overridden.
Looks like I do not understand haw to compile modules....
Thanks in advance,
Wilhelm
