------- Comment #3 from jakub at gcc dot gnu dot org 2009-06-24 15:54 ------- Option 2) is certainly the least intrusive in the compiler and you can use it even with foo's prototype and calling it from the same CU, just use asm. __typeof (foo) * __attribute__ ((ifunc)) foo_ifunc (void) __asm ("foo") { <return address of foo_{1,2,3}> } If you don't have a prototype, you can use the variant originally mentioned in option 2). Most users will wrap this stuff in a macro anyway and in that case whether they use just an attribute or attribute and __asm is not a big deal.
