There used to be some workaround. You could define "constants" like this:
MEMORY
{
_flash_start :
ORIGIN = 0x10000,
LENGTH = 0
_flash_end :
ORIGIN = 0x20000,
LENGTH = 0
}
Later, you could use these "constants" like this:
MEMORY
{
FLASH :
ORIGIN = ORIGIN(_flash_start),
LENGTH = ORIGIN(_flash_end) - ORIGIN(_flash_start)
}
This worked at least with binutils 2.18. With the current release (2.23.1),
even this workaround is forbidden and results in "nonconstant expression"
complaints. I'd consider this a regression. Maybe I'll file a new bug report
for this.
