Summary: Improve documentation for __attribute__ __section__
Product: gcc
Version: 4.6.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: rdiezmail-...@yahoo.de
Can someone please improve the documentation for __attribute__ __section__ ?
Only functions are mentioned, but I know it works for variables too. This is
the documentation page on the Web:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.6.1/gcc/Function-Attributes.html
Apparently, there are checks in GCC against the section properties. For
example, you cannot place a non-const variable in a const section, you get a
"section type conflict" error message. Documentation about this would be an
extra bonus.
I wonder how documentation bugs are handled in this project, I couldn't find
any "documentation" category in Bugzilla.
Many thanks in advance.
