- SYNOPSIS
- Provides a uniform way to declare ALIASs or SYNONYMS for global symbols. The implementation is platform dependant, however the macros are universal.
- USAGE
- Suppose one has a facility ORG_ containing the routines ORG_get, ORG_set. Aliases ALIAS_get and ALIAS_set can be created using the following prescription.
- TARGET PLATFORMS
- All FSW supported platforms.
- LIMITATIONS
- Some platforms demand that the symbol being aliased be defined in the same file where the aliasing is occurring. This is an unfortunate limitation. One cannot, for example, alias a symbol to a system routine.
