Hello Developers The system expects an application to implement (export) some functions that are to be linked statically.
I'm using [public] modifier: function someFunc: Integer cdecl; [public]; alias: '_someFunc'; The linker catches up the function and statically links it with the system library. The problem comes with using smartlinking -XX switch. Since someFunc is not used by my code, the compiler considers it useless and throws away. The linker fails to find the symbol name and so a system routing, that uses the exported functions, simply fails. I can insert the usage code, like initialization if @someFunc = nil then Halt(255); This would prevent the smartlinking, but is there more beautiful way to prevent a function from being smartlinked? thanks, dmitry _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
