No problem, Basil!

"Basil!" I love it! (you know I was just kidding! :-)


Could this really be a linker problem?

If it's not a linker problem, it has to be a faulty import library. I can't think of any other option that would explain how that import table got munged like that. I'll see if I can reproduce it.

I've been extracting modules from the import libs and dumping import/export symbols from the two libncurses DLLs, but I can't seem to find anything that looks wrong.

However... this I find strange:

file d3.c:
----------------------------------------------------------------
#include <math.h>

double my_pow( double d1, double d2 )
{
  double d;
  d = pow(d1,d2);
  return d;
}
----------------------------------------------------------------

$ gcc -g -shared -o d3.dll d3.c -lm -lc
$ objdump -x d3.dll

...
There is an import table in .idata at 0x10004000

Why is 'pow' being pulled in twice? Maybe it's really the math lib stuff that's tickling the linker? This is kinda looking more like some linker bug. Again, I'm not sure where to go next. It's been a while since I dug into gcc...

   cheers,
