Does anyone know exactly what _init is? An "nm" of my executable lists:
080486a8 ? _init It is the lowest numeric address (before _start and main) so I would assume it is some sort of program initialization code. But when trying to determine the cause of a kernel freeze (caused by my user app), I found that _init is being "called" after quite a bit of code has been executed. I scanned every library known to man and of course all of my objects. I cannot find any symbol reference to _init anywhere so I can only guess it is set up by the linker. HELP! My kernel freezes (every 2nd/3rd execution of the program) so I can't run the debugger on the kernel. However, the freeze condition is very repeatable (happens what appears to be the same point in the execution WHEN it happens) so if I can figure out what _init is, I may have a chance to solve this. Also if _init isn't supposed to be called during a program running, can anyone give a clue as to what stupid programming error could cause this to happen?
