Another idea is to simplify virtual calls.
At the final link, probably most of the virtual calls could be converted into
regural calls (as whole program is known, and some base classes may have only
one (or zero) descendant, so all virtual calls will affect only it).

Would you please post some real code that shows the problem and actually
*compiles* with, e.g.

avr-g++ -c vtable.cpp

instead of the lines above that trigger syntax error?

Ok, here is the code:
class test
{
 public:
  test() {};
  virtual void vfunction();
};

void test::vfunction()
{
}


int main()
{
}

After compilation 6 bytes of SRAM is occupied by test object vtable. Here is a
resulting part of map file:
*(.data)
 .data          0x00800100        0x0
c:/winavr-20100110/bin/../lib/gcc/avr/4.3.3/../../../../avr/lib/avr51/crtm128.o
 .data          0x00800100        0x6 gpp.o
                0x00800100                vtable for test
 .data          0x00800106        0x0
c:/winavr-20100110/bin/../lib/gcc/avr/4.3.3/avr51\libgcc.a(_exit.o)

I'm also experiencing this issue and would like a patch or something to be able
to directly access vtables from flash on need.
I'd like to know if anyone has found even a temporary fix to that (even though
it means losing to a non portable solution/bad code ...).

Hello.

I'm currently facing the exact same problem. I have a several classes with
virtual methods and 50% of my RAM is taken by the vtables of these classes.

I'm still willing to know if someone has come up with a solution/workaround for
this.

Thank you !

(In reply to comment #1)
> What is your suggestion?

Because VTABLES are generated during compile time and they are const data there
is no need to copy them into SRAM. Appropriate addresses of virtual methods can
be read directly from FLASH and used to make indirect call as usual. As far as
I know the problem is that AVR port of gcc doesn’t have appropriate isns
to do that. The problem is extremely important because for example my program
uses 964 bytes of SRAM, from which 860 bytes are used for VTABLES (wasted).
This is a typical situation for any C++ program on AVR.
The only problem is speed penalty, LD instruction on AVR takes 1 cycle, whereas
LPM instruction needed for FLASH access 3 cycles, which gives total 2 or 6
cycles to read virtual method address respectively. So probably the best
solution is to add another gcc option (or pragma) to choose between storing
VTABLES only in FLASH (slower code execution) or moving it to SRAM (faster
execution for the cost of higher SRAM memory occupation).
