Creating a shareable image using C++

[P R Stone]

The OPenVMS shareable image cookbook and C++ release notes v5.6Crefer to example code SW_SHR in sys$common:[syshlp.examples.cxx]. I cannot find them on my machine (Compaq C++ V6.5-004 for OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-2 ) but other examples are there.
Were can I get this source from as it sounds very similar to what I want to do.

Found it on 6.2 (sw_shr_alpha.opt

Many thanks to Wim Van den Wyngaert for the OPT file. However I would also like to see the following files SW.CXX ans SW.HXX. (The files SW_TEST.CXX and SW_BUILD.COM would also help but I can probably work these out myself.)

Hi,

If you can get hold of the CXX062.A saveset, and then extract the file CXX_EXAMPLES.TLB from that saveset, you can then extract all the SW_*.* example files from that library using LIBRARY/EXTRACT.

Kris (aka Qkcl)

Or use this.

[Martin Vorlaender · Accepted solution]

Following Kris' suggestion, I zipped up all the files.

This is ideal. It gives me the global object export that I needed.

Thanks everyone
