looking for a way to tell gcc not to remove some code he thinks is unreachable.

[Erez D]

I have a function which is not called in a regular way, so gcc thinks it is
dead code.
however it is not, and i am looking for a way to tell the linker not to
remove it.

i can call it from some place with a flag that tells it to do nothing, but
this is a ugly hack
is there a directive telling gcc not to remove that certain function ?


thanks,
erez.
