Guys: I'm trying to implement something similar to the DEVTAB stuff in eCos, but having some problems. What I want to be able to do is allocate data structures in random source modules to a particular link section, and have the linker gather them up and locate them contiguously. For example: typedef struct {int x;} my_struct; #define DEVTAB(name, x) my_struct name __attribute__((section(".devtab")) = {x} in foo.c: DEVTAB( my_driver, 10 ); What I have found, is that when the linker (binutils 2.9.1, as well as recent snapshots) finds multiple DEVTABs in a single module, it jams them all together according to the alignment requirements for the architecture, as expected. However, when the linker locates DEVTABs from different modules, it puts big gaps between them. I know that eCos is doing this successfully, but the source code doesn't tell me how they're doing it. Any ideas? Thanks! b.g. ------ Want more information? See the CrossGCC FAQ, http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC/ Want to unsubscribe? Send a note to crossgcc-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
