section placement - grouping __attribute__((section (“NAME”))) statements

[Werthmann Luca]

Hello,

I am writing to ask if there is a chance with the GNU GCC Compiler to group __attribute__((section (“NAME”))) statements.

IAR Supports for example the following commands:

# pragma default_function_attributes = @ ".MY_FUNC"                 /* start placing following functions in section .MY_FUNC */
# pragma default_function_attributes =                                              /* stop placing functions in section*/

# pragma default_variable_attributes = @ ".MY_DATA"                  /* start placing following variables in section .MY_DATA */
# pragma default_variable_attributes =                                               /* stop placing functions in section*/

An example how to use these pragma directives is attached. <pragma_section_group_iar.c>

If I compile this *.c code I got some warnings that the GNU GCC does not support these statements.
After some research I found that the corresponding statement for GNU GCC is __attribute__((section (“.MY_FUNC”)))
I tried compiling it with these and it worked. <pragma_section_group_gcc.c>

I have more than 5k lines in my code and need to replace the IAR statements for the corresponding GCC Commands.
Is there a chance to group these statements like IAR supports or do I need to add __attribute__((section (“NAME”))) in each line

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,
