Use the DisableContextSaving() to instruct the compiler not to automatically perform context-switching.

If the linker encounters an indirect function call (by a pointer to function), it assumes that any routine whose address was taken anywhere in the program can be called at that point if it's prototype matches the pointer declaration.

Use the SetFuncCall directive within routine body to instruct the linker which routines can be called indirectly from that routine :
SetFunCCall (called_func[, ,...])

Routines specified in the SetFunCCall argument list will be linked if the routine containing SetFunCCall directive is called in the code no matter whether any of them was explicitly called or not.

Thus, placing SetFuncCall directive in main will make compiler link specified routines always.
