Hi,
I'm hoping that someone has seem this. I am getting a large number of
errors when I go to link my test program (below is a snippet):
.sun_gcc_dbg/test_harness.o:222:107: warning: null character(s) ignored
.sun_gcc_dbg/test_harness.o:222:110: warning: null character(s) ignored
.sun_gcc_dbg/test_harness.o:221: stray '\20' in program
.sun_gcc_dbg/test_harness.o:222:114: warning: null character(s) ignored
.sun_gcc_dbg/test_harness.o:222:122: warning: null character(s) preserved
in literal
.sun_gcc_dbg/test_harness.o:222:203: warning: null character(s) ignored
.sun_gcc_dbg/test_harness.o:222:206: warning: null character(s) ignored
.sun_gcc_dbg/test_harness.o:221: stray '\21' in program
.sun_gcc_dbg/test_harness.o:222:210: warning: null character(s) ignored
.sun_gcc_dbg/test_harness.o:221: stray '\230' in program
I am using gcc 3.1 (configured to use binutils 2.11.2 - as, ld) on Solaris
2.7. Do I need to update my version of binutils? Is it something in the .c
files? I created another smaller test program and that seem to build fine.
What is causing this? Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Tom

I'd guess that the .o file is not being recognized for what it is,
and it is being processed as source of some kind.
1) How are you invoking the linker?
2) What does the -v (verbose) flag tell you?

Something has become severely confused and is attempting to parse
object files as source code. Since you do not show the link command,
I cannot tell what happened.

After I submitted this to the message board I realized that I had the -x
c++ (not sure how it got there ;-o ) option on the command line. Pilot
error.
