Georg-Johann Lay <gjl at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |FIXED --- Comment #8 from Georg-Johann Lay <gjl at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-09-12 10:16:25 UTC --- Closed as fixed for 4.7 Milestone. Initially I intended to add a -fprogmem-sections command line option that works similar but independent to -fdata-section. That way data sections could be used and strings in progmem merged. However, I did not find a straight forward way without cluttering avr BE with lots of code from varasm.c. Thus, for now, there is no -fprogmem-sections, i.e. progmem-sections are in sync with data-sections and you have to decide wether you prefer string merging or fine grained sections.
