The constructors are _NOT_ allowed anymore to access the BSS. Rather they must use the DATA segment or the INIT segment. The latter isn't cleared at any point so the constructors may use it to expose values to the main program. However they must make sure to always write the values as they are not pre-initialized.
The way we want to use the INITBSS segment - and especially the fact that it won't have the type bss on all ROM based targets - means that the name INITBSS is misleading. After all INIT is the best name from my perspective as it serves several purposes and therefore needs a rather generic name.
Unfortunately this means that the current INIT segment needs to be renamed too. Looking for a short (ideally 4 letter) name I came up with ONCE as it contains all code (and data) accessed only once during initialization.
The starting point is the CALL2051:REM <cmdline> approach. It uses the BASIC input buffer at $200. ProDOS stores the name of the loaded program at $280 (which we want for argv[0]) leaving us with 128 char buffer. If we run the program via exec() we don't need the CALL2051 but only the REM token (which is just one char). So have a maximum cmdline length of 126 (plus a terminating zero).
There's no specification for ProDOS BIN file cmdline parameters so exec() just supports the CALL2051:REM <cmdline> approach. In contrast ProDOS SYS files allow for a 'startup filename'. A ProDOS filename is short than 126 chars so having exec() general cut the cmdline after 126 chars seems reasonable. If the SYS file we exec() allows for less we cut the cmdline further.
Our 'loader.system' SYS file however allows for an unusually 126 char long "startup filename" as it is targeted towards cc65 BIN porgrams with their 126 cmdline length.
