Which function calls do you want to override? If you want to override calls made in your own code, just provide your own versions of memset, strcpy, etc. They will be called in preference to the one in libc. If you want to override the calls in libc, then it depends upon what host you are using. In some cases you can again simply provide the function yourself. But in some cases the library never calls memset, etc., it instead calls internal versions to avoid overriding problems. So, it depends. > BTW are there any known problems with -minline-all-stringops. I tried that and > for some reason, I was still getting a function call for memset. That suggests that you are using an i386 target. Please always mention what you are using. -minline-all-stringops doesn't necessarily eliminate every call to the string operations, although it tries. There are a number of possible cases in which gcc will still emit calls to memset. If you provide a small test case, somebody can probably tell you whether it is a bug or a case which is not handled.
