Hi. I was trying to make mg2a resident the other day, but got some
sort of checksum error after the first time I ran it. I assume this is
because the program is not "pure". So this is my question: what is a pure
program. What segments can it modify? Obiously not the code, and some
experiments suggested that the bss also shouldn't be modified. But what
about the data segment? I tried to make resident an empty program
(main(){}), compiled with Lattice C 5.02, and it also got a checksum
error, so can anyone tell me what I need to do.
Thanks in advance,
Matthew
