Bug ID: 18912
Summary: Off-by-one error in ld documentation
Product: binutils
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: ld
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: markrages at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
In ld/ld.texinfo, the following example code is offered:
> start_of_ROM = .ROM;
> end_of_ROM = .ROM + sizeof (.ROM) - 1;
> start_of_FLASH = .FLASH;
>
> Then the C source code to perform the copy would be:
>
> extern char start_of_ROM, end_of_ROM, start_of_FLASH;
>
> memcpy (& start_of_FLASH, & start_of_ROM, & end_of_ROM - & start_of_ROM);
But I think this does not copy the last byte of ROM due to the -1 in
the end_of_ROM definition.
