[Xen-devel] A question related with symbol reference?

hi, my friends:

recently, i am reading the source codes about hypercall.

First, i study a simple hypercall, for example, the "do_xen_version".

In "xen-3.1.0-src\xen\common\kernel.c", the definition of
"do_xen_version" is:

DO(xen_version) (int cmd, XEN_GUEST_HANDLE(void) arg)
{
....
}

according to the " #define DO(fn) long do_##fn ", the expanded form is
"do_xen_version (...)".

then, in the "xen-3.1.0-src\xen\arch\x86\x86_32\entry.S", there is an
item in the "hypercall_table", like this:

ENTRY(hypercall_table)
....
.long do_xen_version
....


as we all known, for a symbol reference of function there need to be a header
file contained, or a "global" declaration.

By searching the header files, i found the file,
"xen-3.1.0-src\xen\include\xen\hypercall.h" that declared the function
in a form as follows:

extern long
do_xen_version(
int cmd,
XEN_GUEST_HANDLE(void) arg);

But, i can not find where the file "hypercall.h" is contained in order
to link it with the reference of "do_xen_version" in the
"entry.S"

So, please help me, or give me some advice.

thanks advance.

Re: [Xen-devel] A question related with symbol reference?

Assembly code does not need a function prototype or indeed any label
declaration to be able to reference that function/label.

I have been programmed assembly code with "nasm" language.
in "nasm", when you refere to a function/label that come from another
file, you should make a declaration of the function with "extern"
keywords in advance.

i don't know whether "at&t" assembly language is different
with "nasm"?

thanks again!

Re: [Xen-devel] A question related with symbol reference?

The EXTERN directive is specific to nasm.
