Followup to old issue: Re: RT1064: How to solve gcc linker error (.ARM.ex... - NXP Community
I am disappointed that the long-standing answer to a limitation of the ARM-EABI is:
1. Use C (discard 100s of our application's files)
2. Compile C++ without exceptions (ie. modify the semantics of 100s of our files) Awful.
The SEMC (or XIP from flexSPI) is never going to be < 30 bits from the ocram. So all our C++ code that needs to be fast cannot throw/catch exceptions?
This would have been nice to disclose (or did I miss it...) rather than bury that C++ is effectively not supported until customer's code size outgrows ocram and link into sdram/xip.
So, two years from the original problem was "closed" NXP still has no better solution? Like 32bit veneers for exceptions -- even if a departure from the ARM-EABI specification?
Hello Dave_carlson,
I couldn’t find information on this being addressed on the newer MCUXpresso releases. There have not been workarounds to this limitations as of today.
My apologies for the inconvenience.
