(I don't see it in the archives.) In any case, just the other day I received automatic email from mailman@xxxxxxxxxx reporting "excessive bounces" from both of Luc's subscribed addresses, and I see on his LinkedIn page that he has left that company. I'll see if I can get in touch with him. > I'd like to get it into the official tree - it does solve the problem > of getting access to integer variables from sial and so far I haven't > seen any side-effects. It's fine with me, although I am not a sial user. In the meantime, unless anybody else on the list has any objections, I'll queue the patch for crash-5.1.9. BTW, I note that more recent versions of ld make this complaint: $ make extensions ... $ gcc -g -I.. -Ilibsial -I../gdb-7.0/bfd -I../gdb-7.0/include -I../gdb-7.0/gdb -I../gdb-7.0/gdb/config -I../gdb-7.0/gdb/common -I../gdb-7.0 -nostartfiles -shared -rdynamic -o sial.so sial.c -fPIC -DX86_64 -DGDB_7_0 -Llibsial -lsial /usr/bin/ld: Warning: alignment 4 of symbol `sialppdebug' in /tmp/ccYSzE2s.o is smaller than 16 in libsial/libsial.a(sialpp.tab.o) /usr/bin/ld: Warning: alignment 4 of symbol `sialdebug' in /tmp/ccYSzE2s.o is smaller than 16 in libsial/libsial.a(sial.tab.o) gcc -Wall -I. -nostartfiles -shared -rdynamic -o snap.so snap.c -fPIC -DX86_64 $ /usr/bin/ld --version GNU ld version 2.21.51.0.6-6.fc15 20110118 Copyright 2011 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
