Re: xc16x-elf-as: relocation overflow

Hi Conny,

I am getting the following error:

$ xc16x-elf-as regex.S
regex.S: Assembler messages:
regex.S:21606: Error: relocation overflow


What does the error mean? Is the size of the '_xre_search' segment to big?
Can I adapt 'xc16x-elf-as' that it can handle it?

Quite possibly. Please could you open a bug report here:

http://sourceware.org/bugzilla

If you can include the regex.S testcase that will help a great deal.

> Can I adapt 'xc16x-elf-as' that it can handle it?

I doubt it, but you may be able to change the regex.S source file to accommodate the restricted address space of the xc16x.

could it be that the 'reloc_howto_type' isn't correct defined?

It looks OK to me.

Can someone explain the structure?

The fields are documented in the bfd/reloc.c source file.

And maybe give me an example how to fill in the structure?

The best way is to look at how the structure is used by other ports.

Cheers
  Nick
