Hello, all. I'm attempting to port GCC 4.4.0 to a new m68k target. The target begins execution in the first byte of the first text section. Adding '#define CONSTANT_POOL_BEFORE_FUNCTION 0' in my target's tm.h seems like the simplest way to avoid execution of read-only data; however, defining the constant has no effect on compilation. (Note, custom or missing startup code is common, so I can't work around it there.)
The only references to CONSTANT_POOL_BEFORE_FUNCTION are in varasm.c, and the only target current using the definition is pdp11--not exactly current. Is CONSTANT_POOL_BEFORE_FUNCTION still being used, or have I hit upon a section of dead code? Is there a simple way to relocate read-only data to the end of a function without writing a target-specific reorg routine? Jumping over the data in a prologue might be an easy, quick and dirty solution, but the target is a memory-constrained system, and that seems wasteful. Thanks, Trev
