I might have an indirection error in here somewhere. : : I think the same approach would work on the Alpha, but the sizes are : different - according to my calculations, FILE is 64 bytes larger : on an Alpha - 10 pointers @ 4 bytes larger and 24 bytes of padding. Yes. The numbers would need to be different for the alpha. Also, the assembler I posted is wrong. I don't need a pointer to it, I need a weak or strong reference.
