8. Optional Features

There exist some features that are not activated in the precompiled binaries. To enable these options, the JWasm source must be recompiled with one or more switches set in the command line:

Support for Djgpp's variant of COFF

This option is enabled with switch -DDJGPP_SUPPORT. The generated JWasm binary will accept an additional output format (-djgpp) to be set in the commandline, that makes the assembler generate COFF modules compatible with DJGPP.

Support for Assembly Source generated by Intel C++ compiler

This option is enabled with switch -DDOTNAMEX. It will make the assembler accept names that contain dots if the name starts with a dot or an underscore. Note that this behavior is not compatible with standard Masm syntax.
