Hi, My powerpc-eabi-gcc generates __eabi() call in main. As far as I know __eabi() sets up r13 register to .sdata base address and r2 register to .sdata2 base address. __eabi() calls __init() which invokes all global and static c++ constructors. In my application setting up r13 and r2 registers to .sdata, .sdata2 has been written in assembly code before invoking main() itself. So I would like to avoid compiler generated __eabi() call in main. In the mean while I have to invoke __init() separately too. In GCC manual I saw -mno-eabi compiler option avoids generating __eabi() call. Even after using this option, my main() generates __eabi() call. Its also mentioned in GCC manual that __eabi() call is default for powerpc-eabi targets. Does this mean -mno-eabi will not have effect for powerpc-eabi targets? How to avoid __eabi() call in main? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Eliminating-__eabi%28%29-call-from-main-in-powerpc-eabi-gcc-cross-compiler-tp27225780p27225780.html Sent from the gcc - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
