Something fishy is going on. I've tried this on both 5.x and 6.0 and
both systems created a bss object called 'x', not something that called
memset.
For example:
peter@fb5-amd64[9:17pm]/home/src/sys/modules/twe-21# nm obj/twe.ko |
grep x
U busdma_lock_mutex
U sysctl_ctx_free
U sysctl_ctx_init
0000000000000080 b x
peter@fb5-amd64[9:17pm]/home/src/sys/modules/twe-22# nm obj/twe.ko |
grep memset
peter@fb5-amd64[9:17pm]/home/src/sys/modules/twe-23#
I wondered if it might be because of something like -O2 (don't do that)
or no -O at all, but I couldn't make it happen even then.
