BCC32 -z option

[morulis]

Hello,

I have to support legacy code and to use the bcc32 compiler.

This compiler has a -z command line option but I don't know what this option does.

Would you please tell me?

Thanks

Looks like it is used to set the segment names.

Thanks for your answer. But what this means? "Segment names". I know that the x86 architecture splits the memory to code segment and data segment. Does this -z option has to do with something like giving a different name to these segments?

It's been awhile, but I believe it means the segments within the program image. i.e. .data and .code. It's unusual to have to name them explicitly.
