From a25c13b3aa1bdbf100e8770902c30908728f8410 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Desaulniers Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2020 16:47:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] compiler.h: avoid escaped section names The stringification operator, `#`, in the preprocessor escapes strings. For example, `# "foo"` becomes `"\"foo\""`. GCC and Clang differ in how they treat section names that contain \". The portable solution is to not use a string literal with the preprocessor stringification operator. In this case, since __section unconditionally uses the stringification operator, we actually want the more verbose __attribute__((__section__())).
