Change sections of a .obj after build

Investigator

Hello,

I would like to know if there is a way to change a certain section of a .obj file to another.

For example, I want all the ".ebss" variables of that .obj file to be placed into ".mysection". Is there a simple way to do it instead of using #pragma DATA_SECTION() all over the source file?

Many thanks for your help!

You can do something similar in the linker command file. In the SECTIONS directive you can write ...

my_section { file_name.obj(.ebss) } > MEMORY_RANGE

This says to create an output section named my_section. It has one input section, the .ebss section from file_name.obj. Place my_section into the memory range named MEMORY_RANGE.

Thanks and regards,

-George
