The difference between the two is just that a weak reference can be overridden by code that links into the library. In this case, we know that the outside code (the nvidia driver) doesn't define that symbol at all -- therefore, there is no practical difference between the two. When in doubt, I always use a weak symbol. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
