The first picture in my head was. A HAL/MLT designer (not > CT user) using USER_SECTION macro "describes" a few random access memory > regions for new CPU. For example, 'mem1', 'mem2', 'mem3' sections. This > HAL/MLT designer provides and a support to init (clear) the regions, so, > he/she knows the names.

Yea, that's it, I sometimes reach for more generality than practice needs. Sorry for confusion and thank you for your patience. I hope that HAL/MLT designers shall be happy, but even if someone convinces us that life without them is impossible (which is unlikely) it would be possible re-introduce them without breaking backward compatibility since for plain (non macro) names they have no effect. Now I agree with you to omit START/END macros. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
