Re: ARM section alignment


Hi Jonathan,

This is why I raised the possibility of the fix that I suggested in
earlier email:

  1. Change MAXPAGESIZE to 0x1000, matching the majority of current
     usage and permitting linker scripts to operate in the way that
     you propose (which doesn't work now).

2. Having done so, kill the __QNXTARGET__macro off -- at least here.

  3. Let users who require 0x8000 alignment do it with a linker script,
     which seems like it might have been the right approach all along.

OK, this makes sense to me now. I am sorry that you had to keep banging my head against a wall until I could see this, but now I agree with you.


So - next step is to implement a patch that does this. Presumably you have something in mind ?

Cheers
  Nick
