And if it's so ... there is no mention of how does it show up for
"simple user" of the GCC (instead of the use of that "machinery" by
creators of particular GCC port). In other words: how the sources should
look like for the compiler to do "the thing"?
Not sure I understand the question. You would add a name space
to an object as a qualifier and then the object would be allocated
in a special (small) region of memory. Pointers known to point
into that special region of memory (which is encoded into the
type) would then be smaller. At least, this is my understanding
of how it could work.
Apparently you do understand my question.
Then again ... apparently you are guessing the answer. Incidentally,
that would be my guess, too. And while such "syntax" is not really
desirable (since such attribution at every declaration of every "short
pointer" variable would significantly obfuscate the sources and a thing
like "#pragma" at the top of a file would do a better job), better
something then nothing. Then again, should you happen to fall onto an
actual documentation of syntax to use this feature with, I'd appreciate
you sharing it :)
