Controls the use of 32-bit addressing to refer to string literals.

This pragma is compatible with the following platform targets:

68K

PowerPC

NEC V800

Intel x86

MIPS

Embedded 68K

If this pragma is on, you can have a much greater number of string literals because the compiler uses 32-bit addressing to refer to string literals instead of 16-bit addressing. Your program will also be slightly bigger and slower. If this pragma is off, your string literals are stored as near data and add to the 64K-byte limit on near data.

This pragma corresponds to the Far String Constants option in the 68K Processor settings panel. To check whether this option is on, use __option (far_strings), described in "Checking Options."
