To get this bss issue fixed for v2010.12 I'd like to add another value to GD to hold the last hw timer value. My current usage of tbu should therefore go to tbl, to have a virutal 64 bit value just counting 32 bit, is that right?
That sounds like a terrible mess to me, please do not do that. Either we have a 64 bit counter, hen it should cound the full 64 bit range. Or use a plain uint32_t if 32 bit are sfficient. Don't play any tricks like misusing an "unused" part of one variable for other, independent purposes.
I think we should provide a "uint64_t timebase" which represents a real 64 bit counter. And if you need a separate "uint32_t timelast" to store the previous timer value then please make this a separate variable.
