I'm new to free-pascal, and have searched for a few hours without
finding an answer to my question. I hope someone on the list could
please help point me in the right direction.
I've been using a couple of encryption/decryption units that are written
in Pascal that I've been using in a userspace networking tool for some
time. For performance reasons, I want to move those routines out of
userspace and implement an iptables match (Linux kernel module) and
invoke the pascal routine. After much trial and error, I have
successfully compiled a Linux kernel module, my fpc-generated .o file,
system.o and objpas.o together. However, when I load the module, the
kernel refuses it because it contains common symbols, and suggests that
I recompile with the "-fno-common" flag (gcc flag?). After some
research, nm system.o shows 30 or so symbols marked as ' C ', for
common. Is there any way for me to tell the fpc compiler to re-compile
system.o and initialize the 30 or so symbols so that they won't be
marked as "common"?
