Message-ID: <4e9be6eb-f9ee-d40f-4201-8b0a82ee1b98@netburner.com> (raw)

I do a lot of work at the bottom of embedded systems and I keep running 
into the same roadblocks that I'm finally asking about. Since space is 
often tight in these systems, I was wondering if there are any known 
approaches that I'm missing to solving some common problems.

My questions are:

1. Is it possible to automatically spill across sections if the 
underlying region fills? If not, is there some way after the fact move 
part of a Section to another Section that is located in a different Region?
2. With ARM Cortex-M, is there a way to split the ex_tab and exidx 
tables into two parts such that they are accessible within the 31 bit 
limit imposed by ARM_PREL31? I am well aware of the complex implications 
of this question, and realize that this is also partly a question for 
the GCC lists.
