Re: [U-Boot] ARM relocation, question to Heiko

Hello Heiko,

I try to understand how the relocation process could handle pointers (to functions or other data) in const or data sections. Your code cannot know what is data and what is a pointer that needs adjustment?

Best Regards, Reinhard

Hi Reinhart,

Short answer - the relocation process does not handle pointers inside data structures.

And yes, this means the content arrays of pointers such as init_sequence is not relocated. Been there, done that, can give you one of the tee-shirts I got :)

ATM I have not found a way to fix this, except making the code which uses the pointers aware that the are location-sensitive and fix them when using them.

Amicalement,
