Here is a proposal for supporting pic etc. without too much hardship. we create a file, include/lib.h, and move all prototypes to that file. That file is included by non-pic code, and has declarations like this: int printk(int level, char *format, ...);
We create another file, call libpic.h, and it looks like this: int (*printk)(int level, char *format, ...) = stage0printk; PIC programs include libpic.h. non-PIC programs include lib.h. At build time, for PIC programs, we use that little trick I showed earlier to create a stag0_pic.o with symbols renamed, e.g. printk becomes stage0printk. non-PIC programs (e.g. stage2) link against stage0.o as they do now. PIC programs link against stage0_pic.o. This will work; is it acceptable? ron -- linuxbios mailing list [email protected] http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
