Hi all,
is there a way to have 4 byte (data) pointers without resorting to -
m32?
I'd like to have 64 bit code, but for a specific library I'm writing
cache behaviour
would improve if pointers were smaller. Pointers to code would stay
at 8 bytes.
Any suggestion?
If GCC dowsn't support this mode (and I couldn't find anything in the
documentation)
I'm thinking about using the linker scripts for forcing all data/heap
to be in 2Gb
and then add the top 32 bits when dereferencing "pointers", if
there's a way to get
those 32 bits as a link time constant, rather than storing them in a
memory location.
This would be done for the few pointers I actually care about.
Thanks in advance,
Maurizio
