Can you post a complete (compilable) example please. Based on your second example, I suspect that you are putting the variable declaration inside a function definition - the second example doesn't make sense outside a function. If I add "char x[100] = {0};" into a function on i386 and compile it as a kernel module on 5.3, a static memset symbol is generated - it's possible that the amd64 compiler gets confused about the implicit reference to memset that this code needs. -- Peter Jeremy _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
