--- Comment #2 from Ralph Loader <suckfish at ihug dot co.nz> --- Created attachment 30735 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=30735&action=edit Patch Patch to change the error message attached. I also noticed another problem: we were setting the global variable user_defined_section_attribute for the following: int * foo(void) { static int a __attribute__((section("mysection"))); return &a; } But looking at how user_defined_section_attribute is used (in bb-reorder.c), it appears to apply to just the function, not the local variables.
