Hi.

In IMCC, how can I get the address of a label in a
different compilation unit? Is there a way to do this
at compile time? I've looked through the latest docs
but according to imcc/docs/parsing.pod, global labels
get stored in global variables that you must look up
at run time (yuck).

It seems that newsub does some magic regarding this,
as

  .sub _main
    # This doesn't work
    set $I1, _baz
    print "_baz: "
    print $I1
    print "\n"

   _shindig:
    # But this does
    newsub $P1, .Sub, _baz
    get_addr $I1, $P1
    print "_baz (fancy): "
    print $I1
    print "\n"

    exit 0
  .end

  .sub _main2
   _baz:
    exit 0
  .end

outputs

  _baz: -1
  _baz (fancy): 136929824

Is there any way I can get that magic without having
to
actually create a new .Sub object?

thanks,

Don't. The only way to transfer control to code in a different
compilation unit (arguably in a different sub in the same compilation
unit) is via invoke or one of its relatives.
