Re: Linking to standard libs in building a KEXT

You cannot link against userspace libraries in a kext.

Some standard things are included in the kernel's c/c++ runtimes. Since your worried about name mangling I assume you want to link some c++ library in, and my guess would be in most cases you simply can't. There are situations where things like this can be done (the bootstrap kernel linker comes to mind) for simple code with dependencies on the userspace environment

I would like to use some of the functions provided by the standard c or

use sin to debug some problems in my audio driver. Is the name mangling
different when code is being compiled for a kernel module? Can I link
against a dylib? What must be done to link against the standard
libraries, if this is possible?

Thanks,

Sean
