Trying to map absolute sections

2006-02-06 Thread Tarun
Hi, I am trying to map an elf section to absolute address. Is there any way that we can restrain the linker (ld) not to relocate a section and place it at an absolute address. I have tried placing the absolute address in the Sh_Addr and updating the section name as SH_ABS. But it was of no use.

precompiled headers tests failed

Hi, One of the thing I've learnt over the week-end is that the option code confusion http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-02/msg00326.html is partly caused by a conflicting interests between -fconst-strings and -Wwrite-strings. The former has been deprecated for a long time now. I wo
