question about function name in bootloader and relative user application

vegetarian1 — Tue, 15 Dec 2020 05:40:08 GMT

Hello,

If two functions have the same name in the bootloader and relative user application separately(e.g. there is a funciton named "main" in the bootloader, and it exsites in user application too) , is there any error or potential risks?

Thanks for your attention!

Hi @vegetarian1 ,

no, this is not a problem. Because you are not linking the two parts with a linker: they are like separate applications from a linker point of view.

Only if you link an application and there are two conflicting symbols you will have an issue.

I hope this helps,

Erich
