so in other words you're saying the solution to this is
"if you want it to work with GCC, make your code non-portable"
afaik "__attribute__ (( weak ))" is not part of the standard, its not a
portable solution.
the fact that
#define SOMEVALUE ((int)&SomeLinkerScriptDefinedSymbol)
int i = SOMEVALUE;
if(i == 0){
and
if(SOMEVALUE == 0){
give a different result makes gcc act inconsistently on code that should be
equivalent.
what are the real-life speed and size gains of this optimization?
