I have some symbol loading code that works just fine on PowerPC Macs, but on Intel Macs, it returns NULL. Here is a line. This loads the symbol named `__debug_level'. This code is executed from a dynamically-loaded bundle, and it loads the address of the symbol from the main executable. On PowerPC, I get the address you'd get by doing `nm' on the executable. On Intel Macs, I get NULL. Any ideas what's happening here? Is your bundle universal (or at least built for Intel)? Does nm - arch i386 show the same thing for this sybmol as nm -arch ppc does? No, they're two separate binaries. (Trust me there's a good reason for this.) -- smime.p7s
