Should we be concerned about the executable(s) built where the linker
produced this warning?
What, really, does it mean?
[Linker Warning] Warning: LINN32: Last line 2029 (7EDh) is less than first
line 2029 (7EDh) for symbol "<null>" in module c:\<somepath>\<asourcefile>.c
[editor: <somepath>and <asourcefile>have been substituted for actual
names]
note: <asourcefile.c>is part of a library that is being linked in
Thanks

Well, in my case, it prevented me from debugging the unit at source level.
I traced down this problem to one rather complex expression.
With this expression broken down to pieces (on several lines), the warning
disappeared and the source level debugging worked again.

FWIW, a provider of code (in a library to us) causing the warning contained
something similar to:
*++pI = !flag ? func(val1, val2) :
func(val3, val4) ;
when they changed that code to:
if(!flag) *++pI = func(val1, val2) ;
else *++pI = func(val3, val4);
the warning ceased to occur. (Thanks, Pavel.)

Is that vendor a subsidiary of Write-Only Code Inc?
