Version 3.1 of VisualDSP includes support for C-like struct datatype for assembler. This supports named offseted indirect access via DAG pointers of the kind i0 = MyStruct; r0 = dm(offsetof(MyStruct, temp1), i0); where temp1 is a member variable of MyStruct. Look up the exact syntax for definition and declaration of structs in the manual. Regards, Andor

Target = Blackfin DSP
Is there a way to "force" C compiler/linker to produce code that references
C code data variables not by their absolute address, but rather by their
offset from the beggining of the corresponding data section.
Something like :

b0 = start_address_of_data_section;
i0 = offset_for_temp;
r0 = b0 + i0;            //r0 holds address of temp

instead of :

r0.l = temp;
r0.h = temp;            //r0 holds address of temp
