...I control section names and attributes. Before I found the ctors/dtors variables I tried to implement this functionality by placing a variable in a section with a special name. This works because a global variable can have an optional section name. But: - How can I control section attributes and alingment? E.g. the .CRT$XU segment is read-only. How can I specify that? - How can I place constant data in the .rdata section? Thanks for any hints! Regards Kai

....dtors scheme. > My expectation was that the dtors placed in .CRT$XTU which are the C > terminator functions. Maybe there is a way to customize this? Yes. Target (or,rather subtarget) specifies this. Looks like it was somehow missed for dtors. > - How can I control section attributes and alingment? E.g. the .CRT$XU > segment is read-only. How can I specify that? This is job of target, not user code. If you need such granularity - write assembler > - How can I place constant data in the .rdata section? The global should be constant. Everything should happen automagically. It might be s...

Currently the virtio_ring structure are not declared packed, but they describe an hardware like interface. We should not allow compilers to make alignments and optimizations that can be different between the guest and host compiler. I propose to declare all structures that are in shared memory as packed. Does anybody see a problem with packed? Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger
