How do I get hold of the size of the .text region for use at run time?
I am using a linker file generated by the XDC tools and also providing a supplemental linker command file to define other sections. Ideally I would like to modify my own linker file rather than editing the XDC one or creating a new template.
According to the Assembly Language Tools User's Guide section 7.5.8.4 the symbol 'etext' is defined as the end of executable code which is exactly what I want, however this symbol is ffffffff in my map file.
The 'LOAD_SIZE' operator looks useful but if I use something like..
.text { *(.text) }, LOAD_START(_code_start), LOAD_SIZE(_code_size) > DDR_CODE
in my command file it generates another .text section in addition to that generated by the XDC tools.
The platform is a C6748 DSP with: Compiler 7.3.8, SysBios 6.34.0.12, XDC tools 3.24.1.29
Thanks,
Andy
