Accordance with my knowledge, function bfd_slurp_armap executes one of the function relevant to type of map (list of symbols) inserted in static library (COFF or BSD). Ranlib and ar, as I know, insert string of characters begins from '/' at the beginning of the static library. It is information for linker that it will be followed by list of symbols. Unfortunetely, this is BSD format, but bfd library (function bfd_slurp_armap) invokes function do_slurp_coff_armap!!! Why ?! I am sorry, if my question is a result of lack in necessary resource of knowledge, but like one great philosofer said once "Who ask, will find a way". That's why I am asking ;) Thank you for your attention and best regards - Marek Krzyzowski ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jak powstaje auto? >>> http://link.interia.pl/f1898
