I think I've read that the built in connectors are useless. Is there another way?

Consult Mohammed Ali.

GCC on IRIX provides crtbegin.o and crtend.o to deal with constructor/destructor stuff.

jan-jaap wrote: Edit: crtbegin/end are built from C code, but the mips specific code does contain two asm files. Or maybe the GCC code generator got borked, who knows.

Code: Select all

.frame  $fp,24,$31              # vars= 0, regs= 2/0, args= 16, gp= 0


but the native compiler is totally wacked:

Code: Select all

.frame  $fp,12698368,(null)             # vars= 24, regs= 269896524/0, args= 0, gp= 0


I was working on the assumption that it was a problem with the compiler I was using to build gcc, and have switched to a different one for the run I'm doing now. Is there something else I should look into?
