Using a feature that is "a very new thing" (to quote Jakub) -- only "GCC
3.2 (mainline CVS), the Red Hat GCC 3.1 package and gcc-2.96-RH >=
2.96-108" support this.
He showed two ways to do it. One more precise. The more precise
method was the one that was only available in newer tools. Please
reread the dialogue between Jakub and Keith for more information.
GLIBC has been using these facilities for a _LONG_ time. Any system
with 2.1.x is using these facilities to some extent.
That may be so, using a bleeding-edge version of GCC, but you haven't
answered my question.
Not bleeding edge. Many versions of the compiler do this for you.
Even if this were not the case, stupid compilation tools are not an
excuse to put changes into the C library. That is a fact.
Franks a lot,
