Does anybody have an idea of *how* to actually do that? My first thought was to just generate a DEF file whenever any of the object files have changed, which could be a simple date comparison. However, generating the DEF file is *really* expensive and slow, so this would make rebuilding anything that *doesn't* add or remove an entrypoint unacceptably slow.. Can someone think of a way to do this without having to dump the list of exports from each and every object file? -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
