Bulletin number: 310 Products affected: D505A D605A D700D D700E D705B Description: Placed channels in occam Component: compiler Date: Fri Jun 8 13:20:54 BST 1990 ----- The compiler does not initialize channels which are PLACEd at a physical address to not.process. This means that communication through the channel does not work or behaves unpredictably. The workaround is to PLACE an INT at the same location and set the integer to MOSTNEG INT. *** Andys note :- the loader initialises Hard Link channel words, so it is not necessary for these. The only time this is necessary is if you are using your own soft channels for nefarious purposes, communicating between paged code segments, etc.
