From f027f37661fc8c12ab07f92982f0c86e4e0717de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Huber Date: Mon, 4 Jan 2016 11:15:37 +0100 Subject: linkers: Fix for targets with a small-data area On certain targets (e.g. PowerPC) global data below a certain threshold (e.g. 8 bytes) may resided in a special memory area, the small-data area. This allows more efficient load/store operations. Placing such data into the wrong section (e.g. .rodata) leads to relocation errors during link-time. See test program libtests/dl02 in the RTEMS testsuite. Using an array of unspecified size prevents that the compiler assumes that a certain variable is in the small-data area. --- linkers/rtems-syms.cpp | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'linkers') diff --git a/linkers/rtems-syms.cpp b/linkers/rtems-syms.cpp index 97315ac..f0ffe94 100644 --- a/linkers/rtems-syms.cpp +++ b/linkers/rtems-syms.cpp @@ -60,7 +60,7 @@ static const char* c_header[] = " */", "", "extern const unsigned char rtems__rtl_base_globals[];", - "extern const unsigned int rtems__rtl_base_globals_size;", + "extern const unsigned int rtems__rtl_base_globals_size[];", "", "void rtems_rtl_base_sym_global_add (const unsigned char* , unsigned int );", "", @@ -105,7 +105,7 @@ static const char* c_rtl_call_body[] = { "{", " rtems_rtl_base_sym_global_add (&rtems__rtl_base_globals[0],", - " rtems__rtl_base_globals_size);", + " rtems__rtl_base_globals_size[0]);", "}", 0 }; -- cgit v1.2.3
