--- Comment #4 from GCC Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Georg-Johann Lay <g...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:0fa06d7fd7820e0d60fd8da381ec45175a675c80 commit r15-7493-g0fa06d7fd7820e0d60fd8da381ec45175a675c80 Author: Georg-Johann Lay <a...@gjlay.de> Date: Sun Feb 9 10:55:20 2025 +0100 AVR: target/118806 - Add -mno-call-main to tweak running main(). On devices with very limited resources, it may be desirable to run main in a more efficient way than provided by the startup code XCALL main XJMP exit from section .init9. In AVR-LibC v2.3, that code has been moved to libmcu.a, hence symbol __call_main can be satisfied so that the respective code is no more pulled in from that library. Instead, main can be run by putting it in section .init9. The patch adds attributes noreturn and section(".init9"), and sets __call_main=0 when it encounters main(). gcc/ PR target/118806 * config/avr/avr.opt (-mcall-main): New option and...
