Hi all, I am having a problem, while compiling a C code program which is having a stat64 function. /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.3/../../../crt1.o(.text+0x18): In function `_start': ../sysdeps/i386/elf/start.S:98: undefined reference to `main' ld: trial.o: hidden symbol `stat64' in /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a(stat64.oS) is referenced by DSO Please can u answer why hidden symbols are used? How to get out of this problem. Actually the definition is in libc_nonshared.a. Is there any work around for this problem ? in the object file itself, stat64 is mangled as __xstat64(3, , ), i guess it is to support the symbol versioning. libc_nonshared.c has no symbol information involved with it. But at the same time the referring library has symbol information insided the headers and stat64 is also versioned. If there is a symbol version mismatch, Will ld throw any warning? Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks & regards Amrith -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm
