Hi all:
I have some code which constructs unique symbol names at compile time and
assigns a static value to them. For esample:
func()
{
static const char * __attribute__ ((used)) <unique_symbol_name> = <some value>;
...
}
These symbols are not used at runtime. Rather, they are used to hold static
tracing information that we pick out by post processing the binaries looking
for these special symbols.
My problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to keep these symbols from
being optimized out by the studio 12 toolchain. Alternately, perhaps the names
are being mangled or hidden.
The above works fine on gcc 4x, however studio does recognize the "used"
attribute, and I cannot figure out how to get these unused symbols preserved so
that I can post-process the binaries.
Any ideas?
thanks
Mark
