[avr-gcc-list] section not allowed in typedefinition

[Olaf Zenker]

Hi all,

why is it forbidden by avr-gcc to typedef a varable with the attribute

__attribute__((section (".eeprom")))

So - if you use it in
functype func( val __attribute__((section (".eeprom"))) );
typedef val __attribute__((section (".eeprom")));
the compiler prints the following errormessage:

filename:xxx section attribute not allowed for 'val'

In spite of this behavoir these both definitions work with the attribute

__attribute__((__progmem__))


Any suggestions

Thanks in advance
Olaf
