<h4 class="subsection">9.4.6 Mapping Symbols</h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The ARM ELF specification requires that special symbols be inserted
|
||
|
|
into object files to mark certain features:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<dl compact="compact">
|
||
|
|
<dd>
|
||
|
|
<a name="index-_0024a"></a>
|
||
|
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt><code>$a</code></dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd><p>At the start of a region of code containing ARM instructions.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<a name="index-_0024t"></a>
|
||
|
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt><code>$t</code></dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd><p>At the start of a region of code containing THUMB instructions.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<a name="index-_0024d-1"></a>
|
||
|
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt><code>$d</code></dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd><p>At the start of a region of data.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
</dl>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The assembler will automatically insert these symbols for you - there
|
||
|
|
is no need to code them yourself. Support for tagging symbols ($b,
|
||
|
|
$f, $p and $m) which is also mentioned in the current ARM ELF
|
||
|
|
specification is not implemented. This is because they have been
|
||
|
|
dropped from the new EABI and so tools cannot rely upon their
|
||
|
|
presence.
