I think that's the main point of the new toolchain - not that it is a new version, but that we're going EABI which will solve that long call mess once and for all. This will also allow us to remove the STATICIRAM hack. I am definitely for that switch, but I think the crash bugs which result from that switch (due to EABI defaulting to short enums and bools) should be resolved first. We could go for the cheap solution and use long enums... opinions? Regards, Jens Received on 2010-03-12 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
