Hey all,

I want to allocate memory within an application code, set
memory access attributes on it, and check whether these
permissions are set correctly or not.

I tried to use _Workspace_Allocate(), malloc(), and partition and region
managers to allocate a region of memory, but just after I set the
allocated region to READ_ONLY attribute, an exception occurs. There is
no problem when I set WRITE attribute. Also when I use hard-coded
addresses ( that do not belong to any used section by RTEMS), I get it
working correctly.

Why do you get an exception? The heap manager places some administration data right at the begin and end of an allocated block. See also

Is there a way to allocate memory without hard-coded addresses
(target-independent), or the previous "exception-after-set" problem ?

Regards,
Hesham
