I would like to ask about process initializing under hurd. I disassembled code and I found it calls few functions (_hurd_stack_setup, _start1 and so on). If I write my own program in assembler and i link it against libc (to use unix like "system calls": open, write, etc.) it needs to be initialized. What should I do and how for proper initialization? Why are you disassembling if you can take a look at the source :-). The relevant code is all part of glibc, and a shiny new version was released just today, and should appear at your favourite ftp.gnu.org mirror in the near future. However, since most POSIX behaviour is implemented by libc, there is quite a bit of initialization code, and I don't think it is easy to make sure everything is called from your assembler code. Why don't you just call your assembler code from main(), or make main() the entry point for your assembler code? Mark
