i have a pb with symbols defined in th ld script

actually i have a symbol end defined at the end of the ld script
but when i try tu use it in my c++ file
i get this message when linking

undefined reference to end

curiously, i dont get this error in using end symbol in my multiboot asm file header.

you may want to declare your "end" symbol as [tt]extern "C" ... end;[/tt] rather than [tt]extern ... end;[/tt]. Otherwise, C++ name mangling might be preventing your code to access the proper symbol.

i have fixed the pb. i use the cygwin compiler wich add an underscore at the begining of my declaration so i used this declarations in the ld script
and all is ok.

thanks for yr replay

hmm ... yes, the usual stuff ... you may want to use -fno-leading-underscore or something alike to avoid such behaviour from GCC (that is, override the local ABI preferences)
