Code Segment for Data

I do not kbow what you need explained better.

the linker locates the above struct in the code segment 0x08...., no measures other then what is in the line of code is taken.

I do not know of this is significant, the above code runs on a STM32f103

.... once it was possible in Keil to "deconstant" a variable by referencing it externally

i.e.

ralph.c
const U8 Jacob;

rahph.h
extern U8 Jacob

george.c
include ralph.h

Jacob = 47;

I hope this is fixed, but do not know if this still is possible and I will not screw up my code to try

Erik

const SHADOW_RAM_CONFIG_DATA_S default_config =

Erik,

Good you haven't changed since my last visit [and that your keyboards skills are still suspect].

Your explanation must rank as one of the worst I've ever seen; and I've seen quite a few.

What is SHADOW_RAM_CONFIG_DATA_S defined as in your project? Is it always available on the STM32f103? Would it be available to other projects written by other people?

Now who was it who wrote something about using "more words"???

Thanks Rob...

At this point... Anyone know how to place data in code segment????... I'm not asking about life on Mars or an explanation for black holes.. heheeh.. :P

Thanks anyway

I'm not sure what 'code segment' is, but if you are talking about placing variables in ROM, static const has always done that for me. If it doesn't work for you, my guess is you have a non-standard linker configuration.

Just like others have said before, I've always used the following with great success on Keil ARM

static const char MessageForMrSmartyPants[] = "Less speed and more keyboard accuracy makes better code.";

SHADOW_RAM_CONFIG_DATA_S
is a structure name

... it goes into the code segment without 'static'

SHADOW_RAM_CONFIG_DATA_S
is a structure name

And was that supposed to be useful to the OP? What are you suggesting with it? that all structures go into the code segment 0x08?

Far more likely that someone who was competent with the tools was capable of locating sections at specific addresses via a scatter file.

what I DID show (in the original post where you could not detect that SHADOW_RAM_CONFIG_DATA_S was a structure name) was that 'const' put the data in the code area, that, at least, should be obvious (to most)

this one goes in the code segment

Yes, but the rest???

I'd guess you've never been a mentor.

to show that a sruct goes to code memory does not need to show the struct itself, WHAT REST?

sure have, very succesfully

Erik

Hi,
Ok, now the data is in the code segment (RO section), but, the ZI remains the same at 8702 bytes... why the ZI not changes?...

Thanks

what is "the ZI"?

Erik

Hi,

forgot my last question... is absurd..

to show that a sruct goes to code memory does not need to show the struct itself, WHAT REST?

To a beginner, including a struct without saying it's a struct may be misleading. Hence the comment of rest!

sure have, very succesfully

Mr Hubris strikes again!
