Force files into specific linker section

ignisuti — Tue, 02 Oct 2012 21:44:40 GMT

I'm trying force standard c files, like float.c, into the protected section of my bootloader as follows:

.GROUP__BOOT__stuff:

{

__LINK_SYM__BOOT__stuff = .;

Core\Standard_Libraries\float.c (.text)

Core\Standard_Libraries\float.c (.data)

. = ALIGN(0x8);

} > SEG__BOOT__stuff

However, my compiler is complaining about "Linker command file error at line 97 Unexpected Symbol"

Line 97 is the line with (.text).

Any thoughts?

FYI: I found that I need to list the object (not file) with .obj to make this work.

.GROUP__BOOT__body:

{

BOOT__DEBUG.obj (.text)

BOOT__DEBUG.obj (.rodata)
