What exactly does this fix and how does it fix it?
I will add this to the commit message:
On certain targets (e.g. PowerPC) global data below a certain threshold (e.g. 8
bytes) may resided in a special memory area, the small-data area. This allows
more efficient load/store operations. Placing such data into the wrong section
(e.g. .rodata) leads to relocation errors during link-time. See test program
libtests/dl02 in the RTEMS testsuite. Using an array of unspecified size
prevents that the compiler assumes that a certain variable is in the small-data
area.
Looks good with the updated commit message. Thanks.
Chris
