NAME( constant )
| NAME | Specifies an “external” name for the linker. |
| constant | A string constant containing the external name to assign. This is case sensitive. |
The NAME attribute specifies an “external” name for the linker. The NAME attribute may be placed on a PROCEDURE Prototype. The constant supplies the external name used by the linker to identify the procedure or function from an external library or to provide a Clarion language prototype with an external name for external linkage (usually to eliminate the compiler's standard name mangling), making it easier to construct an export list for a .DLL to be used in other language projects.
Example:
PROGRAM
MAP
MODULE('External.Obj')
AddCount PROCEDURE(LONG),LONG,C,NAME('_AddCount') !C function named '_AddCount'
END
END
