[patch 008/181] compiler.h: avoid escaped section names

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: compiler.h: avoid escaped section names

The stringification operator, `#`, in the preprocessor escapes strings. 
For example, `# "foo"` becomes `"\"foo\""`.  GCC and Clang differ in how
they treat section names that contain \".

The portable solution is to not use a string literal with the preprocessor
stringification operator.

In this case, since __section unconditionally uses the stringification
operator, we actually want the more verbose
__attribute__((__section__())).
