Data Structures

This section describes the two data structures provided by the Mixed Mode Manager:

• the routine record, which contains information about a routine's calling conventions, the sizes and locations of its parameters, and its location in memory
• the routine descriptor, which provides a generalization of procedure pointers (variables of type ProcPtr) common in the 680x0 environment
