Hi,
Im not sure if this question belong in this list but ...
I have a cross compiling suite for m68k-elf I am using for a small 68332
board and want to add some code that will be run (initialize some stuff for
me) when the program runs.
I can do this be adding to the .init section like:
void some_init_function()
{
.
.
}
asm(" .section .init, \"ax\"");
asm(" bsr.l fd_init");
asm(" .text");
When this gets compiled, it inserts the init code in the init section which
is run from crt0.S, and I can do an object dump and see the inserted code.
great!
The problem happens though when I have some code I want to have inserted in
the init section that is is a archive file.
ie: the above code is compiled and put in a archive of say libinit.a. When
I link that in with the main code, the init section in the archibe file is
not added!.
Why? Or better yet, how can I make it add it? I want it to add it so that
any initialization required by the functions in the archive is done
automatically without the programmer needing to do anything except link in
the archive.
