[fpc-devel] Profiling on win32 (again)

[Giulio Bernardi]

Hi,
a strange thing has happened :P

When Peter fixed the gprof bug on win32, I simply downloaded gprt0.as from 
svn, recompiled it
and replaced the old gprt0.o in my 2.0.2 install with the new one: 
everything worked.

Now, I made a small package (gprof_win32) with libraries from cygwin and 
gprof.exe, I sent it
to John Lee and he put it into contrib directory.
But he told me that when trying to compile a program with -pg switch with 
fpc 2.0.3 (yesterday snapshot),
a link error occurs:

libpsystem.a(system0s852.o):system.pp:(.text+0x68): undefined reference to 
`_stkptr'.

I checked myself and same thing happens on my machine.

I downloaded again gprt0.as from svn (fixes branch), I compiled it... and 
everything works.
I suppose that gprt0.o that came from 2.0.3 snapshot was compiled from the 
same gprt0.as...
so this sounds very mysterious to me.

On 2.1.x snapshot there are no link errors.

bye,
Giulio
