MSVC15 - forcing vtables into the _TEXT or _CODE segment

[James FitzGerald]

I am building a small memory model DOS exe (does not actually run in
dos but in a custom 16bit environment). For complex reasons I am not
allowed to have any relocatable items.

I have run into a problem where the compiler is putting my vtables
into a new segment (COMDAT_SEG1). I would like to force the compiler
to stick these into a default segment such as the _TEXT segment or
_CODE segment.

The classes are defined as far, and need to be because I need a far
'this' pointer.

Can anyone provide me with a possible solution or lead?

Thanks,

James.

You seem to have picked two highly inappropriate groups to post to.

It seems likely that DOS exe's are not really topical in a Windows
programming group, and the rest of your question is compiler specific,
not a language issue at all.

Perhaps news:comp.os.msdos.programmer could help you.

Thanks Jack. Google wouldn't let me, but I'll try something other
than Googles web interface.

Cheers.
