Re: Problem with linking static lib text into specific section

[Elad Yosef <elad dot yosef at gmail dot com>]

When I add the new lib the ld file has these changes


#define SECTION_text(_region_, _vma_, _lma_)   \
  .text _vma_ : _lma_                          \
    {                                          \
      _stext = .; _ftext = . ;                 \
     *(EXCLUDE_FILE (*libMy-Cli.a) .text)    \
     *(EXCLUDE_FILE (*libMy-Cli.a) .text.*)  \
     *(EXCLUDE_FILE (*libMy-ATP-GUI.a) .text)    \     --- New LIB
     *(EXCLUDE_FILE (*libMy-ATP-GUI.a) .text.*)  \     --- New LIB
      *(.stub)                                 \
      *(.gnu.warning)                          \
      *(.gnu.linkonce.t*)                      \
      *(.mips16.fn.*) *(.mips16.call.*)        \
    } > _region_ =0                            \
  _etext = .; PROVIDE (etext = .);

#define SECTION_rodata(_region_, _vma_, _lma_)      \
  .rodata _vma_ : _lma_                             \
    {                                               \
      FORCE_OUTPUT; 								\
     *(EXCLUDE_FILE (*libMy-Cli.a) .rodata)   	\
     *(EXCLUDE_FILE (*libMy-Cli.a) .rodata.*) 	\
     *(EXCLUDE_FILE (*libMy-ATP-GUI.a) .rodata)   	\ --- New LIB
     *(EXCLUDE_FILE (*libMy-ATP-GUI.a) .rodata.*) 	\ --- New LIB
      *(.gnu.linkonce.r*)    						\
    } > _region_

/* those linker changes are for Flash section */
#define SECTION_statLib_text(_region_, _vma_, _lma_)    \
	.statLib_text _vma_ : _lma_               	  	    \
    {                                                   \
    	FORCE_OUTPUT;									\
    	KEEP(*( SORT (.ecos.cli.table.*)));				\
        libMy-Cli.a (.text)                           \
        libMy-Cli.a *(.text.*)                        \
        libMy-Cli.a (.rodata)                         \
        libMy-Cli.a *(.rodata.*)                      \
        libMy-ATP-GUI.a (.text)                           \   --- New LIB
        libMy-ATP-GUI.a *(.text.*)                        \   --- New LIB
        libMy-ATP-GUI.a (.rodata)                         \  --- New LIB
        libMy-ATP-GUI.a *(.rodata.*)                      \  --- New LIB
    } > _region_


I get the following error::::
/localhome/eCos/gnutools/mipsisa32-elf/bin/../lib/gcc/mipsisa32-elf/4.3.2/../../../../mipsisa32-elf/bin/ld:
address 0x80058264 of mars section .bss is not within region ram
/localhome/eCos/gnutools/mipsisa32-elf/bin/../lib/gcc/mipsisa32-elf/4.3.2/../../../../mipsisa32-elf/bin/ld:
address 0x80058264 of mars section .bss is not within region ram
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [mars] Error 1

**** NOTE ****
When I increase the size of the "ram" region it all goes well.
It Looks like that when I add the new Lib in the ld file it totally
ignores the sections of the both libs
and links them into the ram region and not into the specified section
that i have defined.
The only output that I see in my section is from
KEEP(*( SORT (.ecos.cli.table.*)));

command


Thanks
