g_module_symbol and -O

[Zoltan Toth <Zoltan Toth informatik uni-erlangen de>]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right place but I haven't found a forum for GLib
related questions, so I came here.

I am using the dynamic module loading facility of GLib (v 1.2.8) and everything
works well until I don't want to optimize the code with the -O or -O2 option of
gcc (v 2.95.2).

When I turn optimization on, a strange thing happens in my program.
I load the shared library with g_module_load, this works.
When I try to locate a symbol with g_module_symbol, the function gives TRUE as a
return value, but the pointer I get is NULL. If I don't use the -O flag,
everything goes right, the symbol is found.

I am using SuSE Linux 7.1, kernel 2.2.19.

Anyone here has any idea of what goes wrong?

Thanks,

ZOltan
