- Subject: [Problem] gnu-v3 abi loaded wronly.
The code for loading gnu-v3-abi is symply to
look if there is a minimal symbol starting with
_Z
underscore followed by a capital Z:
Why is this test so imprecise?
To what symbol generated by GCC
v3 does it correspond?
Why is it not a full name test?
Currently this creates a problem for me when
I mix GCC 2.95.X code with Free Pascal generated
code on linux, because Free Pascal defines
a minimal symbol _ZONE_NAMES
that is recognized as a GCC v3 marker...
if you create a c code with a static variable
called _Zzzz
you will probably get the same error...
I consider this to be a bug in GDB, but
I would like to get the arguments of the
interested people.
