### #pragma code_seg (OS/2, Windows)

Description

The #pragma code_seg directive marks the current code segment in effect.

Syntax

    #pragma code_seg ([code_segment | "code_segment"])

Functions defined after a #pragma code_seg are placed in code_segment specified by the most recent #pragma code_seg. More specifically, the function is placed in the code_segment that is in effect at the opening brace of the function definition. Enclosing code_segment and class in double quotation marks is optional and is provided for compatibility with Microsoft Visual C++.

The empty parentheses form of #pragma code_seg changes the current segment to the default code_segment. The default code segment is the segment active at the beginning of of the translation unit before any source code processing has begun.

For example,

    #pragma code_seg ("first_seg")

    int first(int a)
    {
    	return a;
    }
    #pragma code_seg()
