Re: combining c-code files into one c-code file

Hey Harald,


No, I do not know of any tool that will do such things automatically.
But, a tool like this is not something that would be on my radar.


I do have a small bit to add though, which may make such a tool a tall
order. One immediate issue I see is determining linkage of symbols
when consolidating the source. When handling WEAK symbols, the link
line (and potentially the characteristics of your linker), will play a
role in determining which definition should be selected for each
reference. Whether you intend to link your program statically or
dynamically muddles the issue further.


At the very least, if your program is reasonably complex, this tool
you seek would need to have knowledge about the linker that you're
using on your system.


Hope that helps!,
Cameron
