I have some existing code that worked fine using Xcode 2.0 and GCC 3.3,
which crashes when built with Xcode 2.1 and GCC 4.0. In particular, I'm
testing an entry point in a weak-linked framework to make sure it's
available before I call it:
#include <StuffIt/StuffIt.h>
if (NULL != StuffItEngineLibraryAvailable)
{
/*...*/
}
When I remove /Library/Frameworks/StuffIt.framework/ , the test crashes.
Disassembly in the debugger shows:
bl 0x71C420 <dyld_stub_StuffItEngineLibraryAvailable>
The function at that address is:
0x0071c420 <dyld_stub_StuffItEngineLibraryAvailable+0>: lis r11,143
0x0071c424 <dyld_stub_StuffItEngineLibraryAvailable+4>: lwzu r12,548(r11)
0x0071c428 <dyld_stub_StuffItEngineLibraryAvailable+8>: mtctr r12
0x0071c42c <dyld_stub_StuffItEngineLibraryAvailable+12>: bctr
If the symbol is in fact unresolved, then obviously the bctr will crash,
but I'm wondering why that suddenly stopped working, and why this isn't
a problem with identical source code built using GCC 3.3. Any advice
would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
R.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.
