Re: [Xen-devel] In which library can I find these functions ?

[Sébastien Frémal <sebastien.fremal@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for your answer, I tried it but it doesn't solve my problem. Maybe I'm wrong, but i think headers are useful to include function prototypes (i. e. gnttab_grant_foreign_access or virt_to_mfn) but it doesn't include the code of these functions. So, when the module is launched, the system doesn't know what to do with the symbols gnttab_grant_foreign_access, xen_features and get_phys_to_machine because implementations of these functions are not linked with the module.

That's why I'm searching for the library including these implementations. I have to link them with the module so it's stop failing when launched.

Best regards,

Sebastien

cscope is quite good at finding these things. You just need
xen/grant_table.h and xen/xen.h
