understanding -findirect-dispatch

Mon Nov 4 19:34:00 GMT 2002

I'm wondering if I can use -findirect-dispatch to achieve something
like vtable gc. I have a few questions:
1. When I turn on -findirect-dispatch, if A.foo() calls B.foo(), will
 there be any relocations in A.o referencing any part of B? It
 seems (from my reading of the code) that there is only a utf8const
 for "B" and "foo" in A.o...
2. Instead of putting an entire utf8const into A, why not just put in
 a relocation for the __MD symbol of foo() in B.o?
Thanks...
