Write enable .text section

[Meissner, Michael]

It depends on the operating system you are using as well as the linker.
If you are using the GNU linker, you can do what you want by using
linker scripts, but these are very arcane.....

I have worked on platforms where it was impossible to write self
modifying code in any fashion, and on many other systems where you had
to go through various hoops to make sure all of the caches are flushed
properly (the trampoline code within the compiler generates self
modifying code).

Subject: Write enable .text section

Hi, I'm trying to implement some self-modifying code. 
Usually I use Visual C++ so I'm not too familiar with the linker that
gcc uses.  I can't figure out how to enable write for the .text section
so I don't get an access violation when the SMC runs.  Anyone can help?
Thanks!
