Hey all,
I've written a multi-segment application, I think I've even answered a
multi-segment question or two on this mailing list, but it's a confusing
subject and now I have a multi-segment question of my own: has anyone
had any success with the --split-by-file argument to the GCC linker?
It's supposed to automatically split the application into sections by
file, as the name says. It seems to work with the ARM linker but not
with the m68k linker.
Here's how I call it with the ARM linker:
arm-palmos-gcc -fPIC -Os -Wl,--split-by-file=1 -march=armv4t
-msingle-pic-base -Wl,--emit-relocs -nostartfiles -o $@ $(OBJS)
I've tried lots of similar combinations with the m68k, but I always get
the standard out-of-space error.
What I'm trying to do is write some portable code, and it just bugs me
to add Palm-specific declarations to every function. As another
possible multi-segment workaround, I've downloaded Multilink, but it
looks old and has lots of warnings about global variables. Is anyone
out there still using Multilink, or should I give it a miss?
I'd also consider using PODS if it would let me write ARM code for 5.x
devices.
Thanks,
Russell
