Why does this matter? ; All the ModuleInfo pointers are placed into a segment named 'FM'. ; The order in which they are placed in 'FM' is arbitrarily up to the linker. ; In order to walk all the pointers, we need to be able to find the ; beginning and the end of the 'FM' segment. ; This is done by bracketing the 'FM' segment with two other, empty, ; segments named 'FMB' and 'FME'. Since this module is the only one that ; ever refers to 'FMB' and 'FME', we get to control the order in which ; these segments appear relative to 'FM' by using a GROUP statement. ; So, we have in memory: ; FMB empty segment ; FM contains all the pointers ; FME empty segment ; and finding the limits of FM is as easy as taking the address of FMB ; and the address of FME. ; These segments bracket FM, which contains the list of ModuleInfo pointers FMB segment dword use32 public 'DATA' FMB ends FM segment dword use32 public 'DATA' FM ends FME segment dword use32 public 'DATA' FME ends ; This leaves room in the _fatexit() list for _moduleDtor() XOB segment dword use32 public 'BSS' XOB ends XO segment dword use32 public 'BSS' dd ?
