Hi,
I am using my own linker script to build my application. I want to put the .text input section of head.o at the beginning of the .text output section. To achieve this, I have the following in the linker script:
SECTIONS { .text : AT (ADDR(.text) - offset) { *head.o(.text) *(.text) } ... (more sections)
}
Yet still, the .text symbols in head.o appear after some other object.o, which comes at the beginning of .text. The way I do it above is the same as clearly stated in the document "Using ld" Page 40. Any opinions why it doesn't work?
I have therefore declared a section .text.head in head.S, and used: .text : AT (ADDR(.text) - offset) { *(.text.head) *(.text)
}
Now head.o is placed at the beginning. But why not in the first case? Just for reference, my gcc commandline is something like:
% arm-none-eabi-gcc -Tmylink.lds -o start.axf object.o head.o ...
after which object.o ends up at the beginning of .text.
Thanks, Bahadir
