trampoline functions

Hi

 

How can I tell the linker to put the trampoline jump functions to another section that i will define

rather than the default .text section.

 

I could not see any information on that on cgtools doc.

 

best regards

izzet

    I think the question is meaningless since the trampoline call that does long branch is inserted into the place of the orginal call.

    so a trampoline call code will be at the same memory place as the original code.

     

    i thought a trampoline call was a separate function..

     

    regards

    Suppose function A calls function B, which happens to be too far away for the short CALL instruction to reach.  The linker inserts a tiny trampoline function T which executes a long branch to function B, and rewrites A's call so that it actually calls T.  However, T must be placed close to function A, or the short CALL in A won't reach it.  For this reason, T needs to go in the same section as A.
