No. A function descriptor is sometimes called a 'fat pointer'. Function pointers on ia64 (as with ppc64 and parisc) are not pointers to the start of the function. Instead they are pointers to function descriptors -- small structs which contain information about the function, including a pointer to the start of the function. http://lists.debian.org/debian-ia64/2003/10/msg00056.html may be of interest. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
