When compiling the following (bad) code with gcc 4.4.0 20080912 I get an error
message.
int x __attribute__ ((__section__(1)));
int main() {
return 0;
}
The error message is:
test.c:2: error: section attribute not allowed for 'x'
The problem is really that the __section__ should have string parameter and not
a number (1). I expect an error message like this:
test7.c:2: error: section attribute name must be string for 'x'
