Any pointers as to how to emit these pointers with asm?
.section FOO_SECTION, "a"
.align SIZEOF_POINTER
.{,x}word POINTER
.previous
Where FOO_SECTION is your special section name, SIZEOF_POINTER is
sizeof(void *), and POINTER is the pointer you want to add to the
section.
You have to also pick .word vs. .xword, or whatever the appropriate
sized pointer mnenomic is for a given architecture. I know .word
works for 32-bit sparc, and .xword works for 64-bit sparc.
