hi!

compiling an ordinary C programm, function-calls are (at least on my
computer) translated to something like:

E8 56070000         CALL <JMP.&msvcrt.printf>

where the operand 1 (56070000) is of type: rel16/32

can i force gcc to produce only CALLS (and jumps, ...) that have absolute
addresses as their operands?


best regards,
georg

You need to bind the executable
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc301808.aspx). Visual
Studio includes a tool to do it from the command line. I'm not sure if
GCC offers a switch or GNU offers a tool to do it.

hi!

I tried binding it by using the source from [1] (essentially calling
BindImageEx()) but that didn't change anything with respect to the calls. To
my understanding binding is used only for external calls.

best regards,
georg
