Parameters
- eax (register)
- The pointer to be converted (selector=high word, offset=lowword). This argument is not passed on the stack.
Timur Tabi Comments
This are 16-bit and 32-bit conversion functions. They convert pointers in one memory model to another.[1]
I don't think they're part of the OS/2 API; rather, they are part of the compiler's runtime library. C Set++ has them also.
