Hi all, Is there any "magic" gcc option which would prevent linker successfully link the following program: ------------------------ file test1.c --------------------------- int foo; ------------------------ file test2.c --------------------------- int foo(int a); int main (int argc, char argv[]){ foo(0); return 0;} Compilation and linking with gcc test1.c test2.c -o test and run./test gives segmentation fault on my Ubuntu x86 machine. What I see is that the linker successfully links foo global variable as a global function, which is a nonsense to me.Please advice. Thank you,--Adel
