12 years agoHi,
--- Quote Start --- The truth is I'm the only Altera Nios2 GNU toolchain guy (which is one more than we had for half a decade...) and to date I've been pretty much continuously in crisis mode putting out fires. (For some reason Altera prefers that I favor corporate customers with large contracts over forums users...) So these patches have been molding in my wishfile, alas. --- Quote End --- --- Quote Start --- FWIW if we'd had to wait for Altera to fix the compiler to support structures in the small data segment, I suspect we'd still be waiting and wouldn't have the product we shipped several years ago. Fortunately I was able to fix gcc myself so we didn't have to raise a support request through our FAE. We don't have the resources to chase Altera to accept the fix. --- Quote End --- Do these facts mean that we can never expect the GNU toolchain support from Altera?::p Kazu
