GCC

Dear gurus,

I have the following problem. I have built a library which is compiled and

linked separately from the rest of software. This library is stored in flash

memory as a standalone piece of software. Then I have built an application which

uses this library by calling its functions at some defined flash addresses. The

application has been compiled and linked separately from the library and it

resides at different addresses in flash.

Both the library and the application use global variables. These variables are

allocated at different ram addresses. Since GCC uses global pointer to reference

to global variables, when the application calls a library function, that function

is not able to reference its globals because the global pointer is assigned to the

application's ram area and not to library's ram area.

Can you suggest a way to workaround this problem ? (without suggesting to

rewrite the compiler ...)

Best Regards
