Hi all, Microsoft's Visual C++ compiler has the ability to remove trampolines generated by the linker (which ultimately calls __imp_SymbolName from the DLL import address table) when linking with code that is intended to be loaded from a DLL if link time optimization on their compiler was specified, even if the symbol in question was not marked as msvc::dllimport (which would normally be required for some an optimization). Is there a way we can add this to gcc or ld as well, to enable it to call from the import address table directly without having to go through the indirection? Or at least where to look at in the linker's code, I'd be willing to help add such an enhancement myself
best regards, Julian
