Re: [RFH] How to make ld use the LDEMUL_PLACE_ORPHAN hook.

Hi Björn,

For using banked memory for the hc12 port I'd like to use the

LDEMUL_PLACE_ORPHAN=gld${EMULATION_NAME}_place_orphan

Question is now: What is going wrong. How do I make ld use the LDEMUL_PLACE_ORPHAN target hook for those sections not showing up in the linker script file?

LDEMUL_PLACE_ORPHAN is used by the ld/emultempl/elf32.em file, so if this file is not being included in the build of the emulation routines the definition will have no effect.

Find the script file in ld/emulparams which is loaded for your HC12 target. Does it define TEMPLATE_NAME=elf32 and EXTRA_EM_FILE=<foo> where <foo> is the name if the file where you have placed the LDEMUL_PLACE_ORPHAN definition ? If not then this is the problem. If ti does then try placing some debugging in elf32.em to see if the default version of the function is being used instead.

Cheers
  Nick
