Error L128 Symbol not found

Günter Kollmann

Hi floks

When the linker error L128 happens, REFERENCE MADE TO UNRESOLVED EXTERNAL the name is listed under the message.
But a double click won't jump to the line in the source file where the missing name was found.

And it's not possible to start a search with the listed name without handwork.

Is there a trick to jump to the wrong source file possion?

    I would guess that this is because linkers "don't do" source files.

    But they still do debug information --- at least enough of it to be able to combine the debug info from all those object files and libraries, and write debug info for the generated absolute object module. So the linker could do it if it wanted to (read: if Keil invested the effort to implement this feature).

    It's not at all unusual for linkers to be able to pin-point which source line contained the reference that turned out to be unfulfillable.
