Synopsis: Unjustified (?) __attribute__ section conflicts

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: rth
State-Changed-When: Fri May 17 16:48:07 2002
State-Changed-Why:
    Not a bug.  "const int *p" is a non-constant variable that
    points to constant data; "const int i" is a constant variable.
    
    This "worked" in gcc 3.0 in that it did not diagnose the
    error.  What would happen is that the assembler would use
    the type of the first variable assigned to the section to
    set the flags for the section.  Which can appear random
    to users filing bug reports.
    
    So now all the variables assigned to a section must have the
    same section flags.  I.e. all must be constant or all must
    be non-constant.
