提到section,就得说RO RI ZI了,在ARM编译器编译之后,代码被划分为不同的段,RO Section(ReadOnly)中存放代码段和常量,RW Section(ReadWrite)中存放可读写静态变量和全局变量,ZI Section(ZeroInit)是存放在RW段中初始化为0的变量。 于是本文的大体意思就清晰了,__attribute__((section(“section_name”))),其作用是将作用的函数或数据放入指定名为"section_name"对应的段中。
1)、编译时为变量指定段:
__attribute__((section("name")))

4.5.6. __attribute__((section("name")))
Normally, the ARM compiler places the objects it generates in sections like data and bss. However, you might require additional data sections or you might want a variable to appear in a special section, for example, to map to special hardware. The section attribute specifies that a variable must be placed in a particular data section. If you use the section attribute, read-only variables are placed in RO data sections, read-write variables are placed in RW data sections unless you use the zero_init attribute. In this case, the variable is placed in a ZI section.
Note
This variable attribute is a GNU compiler extension supported by the ARM compiler.
Example
/* in RO section */
const int descriptor[3] __attribute__ ((section ("descr"))) = { 1,2,3 };
/* in RW section */
long long rw[10] __attribute__ ((section ("RW")));
/* in ZI section *
long long altstack[10] __attribute__ ((section ("STACK"), zero_init));/

2)、编译时为函数指定段
