#2419 returning ptr to __xdata: Definition mismatches with declaration

[Philipp Klaus Krause]

The followin code compiles ok for mcs51 in rev. 9321:

inline void *aligned_alloc (void)
{
}

extern void *aligned_alloc(void);

but this one does not:

inline void __xdata *aligned_alloc (void)
{
}

extern void __xdata *aligned_alloc(void);

I don't see why one should compile, but not the other.

What the fuck is wrong with this markdown shit again? I put five tildes around each example code section in my bugreport, but the code is still messed up.

I've changed your post with a few extra newlines to make markdown happy. I agree that it sucks that you need to have an empty line before and after the lines with the tildes.

This does not work:

Some text
~ ~ ~ ~
some code, but still not showing as such
~ ~ ~ ~
More text

But this does

Some text

~ ~ ~ ~
some code, showing as such thanks to the empty lines
~ ~ ~ ~

More text

It's also awkward that I cannot type four tildes inside the preformatted text even when I use a different means to indicate preformatting (4 leading spaces).
