002_05: Is it possible to create a stub function for a function written in assembly code?
Question:
Is it possible to create a stub function for a function written in assembly code?
Answer:
No, it is not. The original function must be written in C code in order to create a stub function. It is not possible to create a stub function for an assembly function because the symbol structure in the debug information is different from a C function.
As a workaround, a stub function for an assembly function can be created by creating a dummy C function, not linking the original assembly function and compiling and linking the dummy C function instead.
This will create the symbol information for the dummy function and the function name can be selected in the Stub Settings screen.
