Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] Makefile: use u-boot.map for binary_size_check

Dear Chris Packham,

In message 1406179627-9496-1-git-send-email-judge.packham@gmail.com you wrote:

u-boot.map is generated automatically by the compiler and more importantly can handle addresses >4GB.

I think it should be possible to change binary_size_check to use u-boot.map instead of System.map but would that be OK for all architectures?

...

Something like this works for me but maybe there is a way to get nm to handle addresses >4GB.

...

• map_size=$(shell cat u-boot.map | \ awk '/_image_copy_start/ {start = $$1} /_image_binary_end/ {end = $$1} END {if (start != "" && end != "") print "ibase=16; " toupper(end) " - " toupper(start)}' \

• | sed 's/0X//g' \
  

Do we _really_ need all of this?

This looks very much like creaping featurism to me...

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
