re-#pragma DATA_SECTION with c++ - theb...@excite.com - Jul 5 5:40:00 2005

My apoligises, part of the question was lost. Here it is in full. hi all, I posted a question recently on this forum and received a very helpful reply from robert(thank you). I just have another question about memory allocation. I wish to use the SDRAM on my c6416 dsk. I have written a command file for my project which I will include below and also I include the syntax I am using for C++ pragma to write a variable to SDRAM. On compiling I get an error saying; warning: pragma DATA_SECTION can only be applied to a file level symbol definition, not work Note - work is the variable im trying to write to SDRAM My command file is as follows; -c -heap 0x50000 -stack 0x90000 /* MODULE MEM */ -stack 0x400 MEMORY { ISRAM : origin = 0x0, len = 0x100000 SDRAM : origin = 0x80000000, len = 0x1000000 FLASH : origin = 0x64000000, len = 0x80000 } SECTIONS { .text :> ISRAM .bss :> ISRAM .cinit :> ISRAM .stack :> ISRAM .sysmem :> SDRAM .const :> ISRAM .switch :> ISRAM .far :> SDRAM .cio :> SDRAM .mydata:>SDRAM } and the syntax I am using with the pragma directive (as got from the Code Composer help) is; #pragma DATA_SECTION(".mydata"); float work; on checking the address of work in the watch window I can see it is still being stored in internal memory. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Niall Barry

Please refer to this webpage: HYPERLINK "http://www.squreshi.com/errata.html"http://www.squreshi.com/errata.html You need another argument in your #pragma call. This pragma is not for �work�, so �work� goes into the internal memory by default. Regards, Robert _____ From: code-comp@code... [mailto:code-comp@code...] On Behalf Of theblaahead@theb...

Re: re-#pragma DATA_SECTION with c++ - Niall Barry - Jul 6 6:18:00 2005

Hi SAURABH, Using such a syntax gives me a compilation error of "BADLY FORMED PRAGMA", I think the syntax I am using is ok as my project is in C++ and that is , according to the CCS manual the correct syntax for a C++ pragma. The error is solved by declaring the pragma outside of main. However since I need to declare multiple pointers for multiple dynamic arrays which are later initialised is there a way of partioning the memory so as to place enough space between the pointers to support the array. This problem would be alleviated if I could declare the pointers in main when they need to be used.

Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2005 09:37:52 +0530 Subject: Re: [code-comp] re-#pragma DATA_SECTION with c++ Hi Niall, The syntax for this pragma is like that, #pragma DATA_SECTION(variable name, "User defined section"); // Even .(dot) is optional So use, #pragma DATA_SECTION(work, ".mydata"); float work; instead of > #pragma DATA_SECTION(".mydata"); > float work; I am sure your problem will be solved.
