/* and so on */
Note it is const. The length of this array is important. Make it shorter, and the problem disappears.
Use a very old version 3.07 of the compiler. Build it ...
% cl2000 -@options.txt file.cpp
Inspect the assembly file. This array begins ...
.sect ".econst" .align 2 _pg6: .field 0,32 ; _pg6[0]._DEF @ 0 .field 0,16 ; _pg6[0]._MIN @ 32 .field 0,16 ; _pg6[0]._MAX @ 48 .field -193,16 ; _pg6[0]._NUM @ 64 .field -1,16 ; _pg6[0]._DEN @ 80 .field 24576,16 ; _pg6[0]._TYP @ 96
The entire array is initialized with this entry in the .econst section.
Build it again with version 22.6.0.LTS. Inspect the assembly file to see ...
_pg6: .usect ".ebss:_pg6",900,0,1 .clink ".ebss:_pg6"
Even though pg6 is const, it is in the .ebss section. It gets initialized by a large function, the address of which is added to the .pinit section. This method requires much more memory, and it does not allow pg6 to be allocated to flash.
