I'm trying to port the C++ libraries to my own os, yet there appears to be
one barrier. This appears to be the file called "libc.a". I have looked
around for a while to try and find out what this file actually contains and
how g++ uses it.
I did find that it is automatically linked into my code when i do compile
for my os. This is all I know.
Does anyone out there know (of a list - as there are probably loads) what
functions I need to put into my own libc.a file?
Cheers,
Robert

libc.a is the statically linkable version of your c library. This library
implements all the standard things you get for free with c and c++ -- for
instance printf, fopen, et cetera.

Implementing this is a _big_ job. Have a hunt on the gnu.org website for
the glibc manual -- last time I checked it was something like 600 pages.
