They will have to get fixed as needed for Windows native tool builds. + Title: TOOLCHAIN COMPATIBILITY PROBLEM + Descripton: The older 4.3.3 compiler generates GOTOFF relocations to the constant + strings, like: + + .L3: + .word .LC0(GOTOFF) + .word .LC1(GOTOFF) + .word .LC2(GOTOFF) + .word .LC3(GOTOFF) + .word .LC4(GOTOFF) + + Where .LC0, LC1, LC2, LC3, and .LC4 are the labels correponding to strings in + the .rodata.str1.1 section. One consequence of this is that .rodata must reside + in D-Space since it will addressed relative to the GOT (see the section entitled + "Read-Only Data in RAM" at + http://nuttx.org/Documentation/NuttXNxFlat.html#limitations). + + The newer 4.6.3compiler generated PC relative relocations to the strings: + + .L2: + .word .LC0-(.LPIC0+4) + .word .LC1-(.LPIC1+4) + .word .LC2-(.LPIC2+4) + .word .LC3-(.LPIC4+4) + .word .LC4-(.LPIC5+4) + + This is good and bad. This is good because it means that .rodata.str1.1 can not + reside in FLASH with .text and can be accessed using PC-relative addressing. + That can be accomplished by simply moving the .rodata from the .data section to + the .text section in the linker script. (The NXFLAT linker script is located at + nuttx/binfmt/libnxflat/gnu-nxflat.ld). + + This is bad because a lot of stuff may get broken an a lot of test will need to + be done. One question that I have is does this apply to all kinds of .rodata? + Or just to .rodata.str1.1? + + Status: Open. Many of the required changes are in place but, unfortunately, not enough + go be fully functional. I think all of the I-Space-to-I-Space fixes are in place. + However, the generated code also includes PC-relative references to .bss which + just cannot be done. + Priority: Medium. The workaround for now is to use the older, 4.3.3 OABI compiler. + o Network (net/, drivers/net) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
