Hi
So far we worked with gcc 2.95.2 (I know, ancient) for our embedded target.
We now would like to go to gcc4, that's why I'm testing compiling, running,
debugging etc.
We put some stuff in separate sections like this (example code):
#define STRUCT_NAM __attribute__ ((section (".struct_nam")))
STRUCT_NAM static char aTableName[] = "TableName";
or
static char aTableName[] STRUCT_NAM = "TableName";
This works fine with the old compiler, but with gcc 4.1.0, cross-compiled
for ppc-eabi, these sections are empty.
old:
.struct_nam 0x00149304 0x1648
new:
.struct_nam 0x000b5a70 0x14
This is with the same sources, same commands, same linker script,
just different compiler and binutils.
How can this happen? Or how can I find out where this stuff goes to
if not here? Looking at the docs it should still work this way:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.1.1/gcc/Variable-Attributes.html#Variable-Attributes
Thanks
bye Fabi
