Sorry if I wasn't too clear. My question really should have read "why do we have to special case Thumb2" ? The linker should be able to veneer the t-> a calls either through the veneering sequence (in case of T1 without blx) or convert the bl to a blx (modulo the case with out of range branches). As I said I'm probably missing something here. cheers Ramana > > nathan > > -- > Nathan Sidwell > >
