             Bug #: 53372
           Summary: [avr] Section attribute ignored with address space
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.7.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: wrong-code
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: target
        AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: g...@gcc.gnu.org
            Target: avr


In the following code the section attribute is ignored

const __memx int __attribute__((section(".rodata"))) a = 1;

because the address space __memx overrides the section no matter what:

.global    a
    .section    .progmem.data,"a",@progbits
    .type    a, @object
    .size    a, 2
a:
    .word    1
