[avr-gcc-list] Pointer to progmem, in assembler.

[Erik Christiansen]

   Has anyone been haunted by the assembler error:

   Error: invalid sections for operation on `L0' and `message'

   which has plagued my last half dozen variations on the simple theme:

test.s >>>

#include <avr/io.h>

   ldi   ZH,pm_hi8(2*message)       
   ldi   ZL,pm_lo8(2*message)

   .section .progmem.data,"a",@progbits
message:
   .asciz "Hello World" 
<<<

   (Used Artur's advice:
      avr-gcc -x assembler-with-cpp -mmcu=atmega16 -DMCU=atmega16 test.s )

   I tried checking how avr-gcc handles pointer to progmem, using part
   of the avr-libc FAQ example:

 const char foo[] PROGMEM = "Foo";

   It generates pretty much the same thing:
>>>
   ...
.global  foo
   .section .progmem.data,"a",@progbits
   .type foo, @object
   .size foo, 4
foo:
   .string  "Foo"
   .text
.global  main
   .type main, @function
main:
/* prologue: frame size=2 */
   ldi r28,lo8(__stack - 2)
   ldi r29,hi8(__stack - 2)
   out __SP_H__,r29
   out __SP_L__,r28
/* prologue end (size=4) */           Note:
   ldi r24,lo8(foo)              <--  avr-gcc doesn't even bother with
   ldi r25,hi8(foo)              <--  pm_hi8.
   call fun
   ...
<<<

   Going back to hi8,lo8 in my assembler code gives the same error, as
   does leaving the string in .text.

   Is anyone grinning, 'cos he recognises my dufus idiomatic omission?
