(See include/private/gcconfig.h.) - The algorithm for DATASTART is similar with the function - GC_SysVGetDataStart() in os_dep.c. - - DATASTART = ((&etext + 0x3ffff) & ~0x3ffff) + (&etext & 0xffff) - - Dynamically linked: - DATASTART2 = (&_gp + 0x8000 + 0x3ffff) & ~0x3ffff - - Statically linked: - DATASTART2 = &edata - - GC has to check addresses both between DATASTART and &edata, and - between DATASTART2 and &end. If a program accesses between &etext - and DATASTART, or between &edata and DATASTART2, the segmentation - error occurs and the program stops. - - If a program is statically linked, there is not a gap between - &edata and DATASTART2. The global symbol &_DYNAMIC_LINKING is used - for the detection. - - 64bit: - ELF file has a simple format.
