RE: gcc 4.0.0 optimization vs. id strings (RCS, SCCS, etc.)

We use the feature of placing strings into the object file somewhat differently. We record configuration and compilation-related info. into strings which are collesced into their own linkage section. A runtime component traverses this config. info. section to ensure that the various separately l

gcc 4.0.0 optimization vs. id strings (RCS, SCCS, etc.)

Hi, Earlier versions of gcc retain static character strings in object files which can be used for identification via ident (RCS) or what (SCCS). Gcc 4.0.0 removes them above optimization level 1. Global strings are retained, of course, but that may lead to namespace collisions. #ident doesn't wor
