Yes, building with -B direct, though those can still be overridden by objects marked by the linker as interposers. http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-0690/aehzq?a=view http://blogs.sun.com/rie/entry/direct_binding_now_the_default http://blogs.sun.com/rie/entry/direct_binding_the_zdirect_bdirect > if so, are malloc/free ever in that set of bound symbols? Not if you link with libc, which have marked malloc/free as explictly never to be direct linked since we know so many objects like to interpose on them. http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4850703 The linker guys can explain more if needed - they respond well to questions on tools-linking at opensolaris.org. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith at sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering
