Overlays

[prashantgolu]

In the book Galvin,In the topic of overlays...it's mentioned...
lets take an assembler working in 2 passes...pass 1 which symbol table and 2nd pass which produces machine language...
now
pass-1 70 kb
pass 2 80kb
symbol table 20kb
common routine 30kb

now in the overlay A they include pass 1,common routine,overlay driver and symbol table....

why..to include symbol table...it's the output of the 1st pass...why to include in the 1st pass...??

Thanks

Can you clarify your question? It makes no sense as it's written.
