[Sdcc-user] Sane way to put C functions into a different section

[Alan C. <al...@lx...>]

Is there a "proper" way to put some functions in a file into a different
section for linking

Right now I'm doing

/* Force the rest of this code into common */

void dummy(void) __naked
{
__asm
  .area _COMMONMEM
__endasm;
}

which while bletcherous does seem to work, at least for my use case.

I've also got another ugly I'm having to use because sdcc errors

#ifdef SOMETHING
<entire code>
#endif


which produces an error that ANSI C doesn't permit an empty file. While
that is correct I see nothing in the standard that says "after
preprocessing" and would submit that is a compiler bug ?
