I've never looked at the code for the linker.
I'm no inner-compiler developer, but it probably depends on what you want to do. Just fuzzy linking trying to match undecorated functions with decorated ones, or really evaluate the number of arguments to create the decoration on the "header" side, and then do exact linking. The fuzzy option is easier, but the other stuff is probably also needed for generating libs with compatible decoration, as well as making use of the main use of decoration: overloading external symbols on the basis of number of parameters. (default param alike probably) _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
