[Mspgcc-users] mspgcc4 linking problems - relates to bug 5815 in mspgcc

[paul]

I am using mspgcc4. 

The "warning: internal error: unsupported relocation error" are all
related to pointer to functions (in my case), details below. 
I found mspgcc bug 5815 (fixed a few months ago).  But it appears that
this bug also exists in MSPGCC4_r4-20100210.



menu.h
======
struct menu
{
        // Pointer to direct function (start, stop etc)
        void (*sx_function)(u8 line);            
        // Pointer to sub menu function (change settings, reset counter etc)
        void (*mx_function)(u8 line);            
        // Pointer to display function
        void (*display_function)(u8 line, u8 mode);              
        // Display update trigger 
        u8 (*display_update)(void);      
        // Pointer to next menu item
        const struct menu *next;
};


menu.c
=======
#define FUNCTION(function)  function

const struct menu * ptrMenu_L1 = NULL;
const struct menu * ptrMenu_L2 = NULL;

const struct menu menu_L1_Time =  // this is just one of several a linked
list
{
        FUNCTION(sx_time),              // direct function
        FUNCTION(mx_time),              // sub menu function
        FUNCTION(display_time),         // display function
        FUNCTION(update_time),          // new display data
        &menu_L1_Alarm,
};


main.c  
=======
void (*fptr_lcd_function_line1)(u8 line, u8 update);

// the errors originate in main.c with lines like the following
// from function init_global_variables
// both lines generate the error
ptrMenu_L1 = &menu_L1_Time;
fptr_lcd_function_line1 = ptrMenu_L1->display_function;
