Nobody appears to have an opinion one way or the other regarding this patch, so I plan to commit it tomorrow (Monday) and see how it behaves during the build. We're going to see a red delta for bin size and RAM (bloat o meter reports about 7000 bytes) but that can't be helped. And it may not link on some targets due to the use of IRAM attribute tags. There's only one way to find out. Jeff Received on 2009-08-17 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
