cdecls alternatives for linear assembly

Hi,

I want to use a structure declared in C header file in linear assembly source.(C6678, CGT 7.4.1)

From this it seems .cdecls directive is not supported for linear assembly.

Why it is like that? Is there any alternative available? How can I share structures and variables declared in C files to my linear assembly source code(other than hardcoding the offsets)?

Thanks

This thread from 2008 talks about this same issue. Unfortunately, nothing has changed since then.

Thanks and regards,

Thanks George.

But what can be the reason behind this non-support of cdecls in linear assembly?

Any alternatives are there other than hardcoding the offsets?

Everyone agrees that it is a good idea to add .cdecls support to the linear assembler. However, doing so would take a lot of work, and other priorities are always judged to be more important.

Unfortunately, there is no method to automatically transmit those offsets from C to linear assembly.

Thanks and regards,
