Re: newlib _REENT_SMALL


Thks Jeff,

I tried to configure
../../../newlib-1.15.0/configure --target=arm-elf --prefix=$MYPREFIX \
--enable-interwork --enable-multilib --with-float=soft \
--disable-newlib-supplied-syscalls \
--enable-newlib-reent-small \
--enable-newlib-multithread=yes
but --enable-newlib-reent-small is not recognized.
Have I to use 1.16.x instead of 1.15.0?

There is, also, a configure parameter for "SMALL_MEMORY" ?

Hi all,
I'm new on newlib.

I just made running my lpc23xx GNU tools chain on UBUNTU.
binutil 2.17, GCC 4.2.1, newlib 1.15, gdb 6.6

I wrote my own syslib, and I run a rtos application.
Now, I'd to reduce the memory footprint of the REENT support.

I have rebuilt the newlib setting _REENT_SMALL
(newlib_cflags="-DSMALL_MEMORY -D_REENT_SMALL").
Application is working fine but "struct _reent"  on my application  is
again ~1k.

If you are always going to use _REENT_SMALL, then do it in libc/include/sys/config.h.
This means that nothing will accidentally get built without the flag on and this
files gets included whenever a user includes a newlib header file (i.e. application and
newlib are consistent).


If you just want to try it out, specify --enable-newlib-reent-small when you configure newlib.
This will set _REENT_SMALL in libc/include/sys/config.h for you.
