Thanks Jan,
This is effectively what I have done, except I used C stubs instead of
assembler:
[.section origin is at 0xff00]
void test_func_1(uint16_t foo)
{
func_1(foo);
}
void test_func_2(uint16_t foo)
{
func_2(foo);
}
Why would the compiler respect assembler any more than my C calls (it
changes the order of them as they are stored in memory, so I cannot
guarantee the address of "test_func_1()")
If GCC will respect the order of the assembler jumps (and thus the
absolute address) then that is my easiest solution. At the moment I
can't really see any difference between assembler and C here. Or does
someone know better ?
You see I really distrust the compiler now :-)
