Hello Christophe

I found it very useful feature.
But I'm just curious if it is possible to extend linker syntax to support
syntax with output regions separated by OR :

text : { *(.text*) }  > REGION0 | REGION1 | REGION2

It is more convenient in some cases. For example CMSIS has linker script
like this:

  .text :
  {
    KEEP(*(.vectors))
    *(.text*)

    KEEP(*(.init))
    KEEP(*(.fini))

    /* .ctors */
    *crtbegin.o(.ctors)
    *crtbegin?.o(.ctors)
    *(EXCLUDE_FILE(*crtend?.o *crtend.o) .ctors)
    *(SORT(.ctors.*))
    *(.ctors)

    /* .dtors */
     *crtbegin.o(.dtors)
     *crtbegin?.o(.dtors)
     *(EXCLUDE_FILE(*crtend?.o *crtend.o) .dtors)
     *(SORT(.dtors.*))
     *(.dtors)

    *(.rodata*)
    KEEP(*(.eh_frame*))
  } > FLASH

So that we have to duplicate this rather than use | in output regions.

What do you think?

Alex
