GCC really wants to declare the section. :(
asm(".pushsection .rodata");
static void do_nothing_rodata(void)
{
return;
}
asm(".popsection");
With -fno-toplevel-reorder, this produces:
#APP
.pushsection .rodata
#NO_APP
.section .text.unlikely
.LCOLDB42:
.text
.LHOTB42:
.p2align 4,,15
.type do_nothing_rodata, @function
do_nothing_rodata:
.LFB2756:
.loc 1 323 0
.cfi_startproc
pushq %rbp
...
So I either need to define "ret" for every architecture, define the
linker comment character for every architecture, or do some generated
file. I'll try the latter next...
