Re: RFE: Install stubs et al weak?


I should be able to add this feature to the __DEFUN macro in _ansi.h and start
cleaning up various functions that do not use it.

Guys:


Could the next release of newlib mark all of the stub functions as "weak" in the installed libraries? That would let users override _write_r by simply providing their own implementation thereof.

Yes, users can currently invoke ar and objcopy to weaken stub
functions in libc.a.  No, they don't seem interested in doing that...

Thanks!
