Mixed-Language Programming: Borland C++ and MS FORTRAN (79709)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FORTRAN Compiler for MS-DOS 5.0
- Microsoft FORTRAN Compiler for MS-DOS 5.1
This article was previously published under Q79709 SUMMARY
Mixed-language programming is not possible with Borland C++ version
2.0 and Microsoft FORTRAN versions 5.0 and 5.1. This is not considered
a feature and is not supported by Microsoft or Borland.
MORE INFORMATION
The format used by Borland when they generate their object code file
is different than the format used by Microsoft languages. Microsoft
linkers do not recognize the format of the Borland libraries partially
because of the way they include the debugging information and function
overhead code.
It is possible to use Borland's linker, TLink, to do the linking but
unresolved function error messages are generated from both Microsoft
FORTRAN and Borland C++. Using TLink may also result in "Fixup
Overflow" errors in data segments because of the differences in the
memory models used by both compilers. Borland's large memory model
does not correspond exactly to Microsoft's large memory model;
therefore, problems may exist in the way data is aligned for the final
executable.
Mixed-language programming with non-Microsoft products is not
supported by Microsoft.
