[Gcl-devel] hppa unexec and static variable initialization

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  

In some code reading

void* (*gcl_gmp_allocfun)(size_t) = alloc_relblock;

void *
alloc_relblock(size_t n) {

...

}

when compiled linked and the run under gdb, broken at main:

(gdb) p alloc_relblock
$4 = {void *(size_t)} 0xd538c <alloc_relblock>

Why is the static initialization failing?

Take care,
