Hi Thomas,
: How about tekhex.c (in tekhex_write_object_contents)?
Yes you are right - it is already broken. If it becomes necessary we
can fix it, but I think it better to jyst leav eit for now.
: We needed to distiguish in an nm dump listing between symbols
: that are weak functions and symbols that are weak objects. nm
: only dumped weak syms without making the distinction. A new "letter"
: was added "V/v" to show weak objects...
:
: Sigh - hope I got everything this time. 3rd time's a charm hopefully?
: Sorry, still new to GNU here ;-)
ha ha
OK - I have accepted your patch and checked it into the source tree.
I did make one change however, which I hope you won't mind. Rather
than duplicating the code that checks the symbol class all the time, I
create a new function which does this, and replaced the checks with
calls to this function.
Cheers
Nick
