_ROMTOP = (_start >= 0xffff0000) ? 0xfffffff0 : 0xfffffff8;So i suggest we put the line in reset16.lds and dont accept the line in ldscript.lb
at best this is a temporary fix. Putting computations into the ldscript is going to cause us trouble later.
Ron it sounds like you have an idea in mind, could you elaborate.
Currently all I am computing are things that the linker needs to deal with. The selection of addresses of specific files.
The ASSERT is especially useful as it turns a very mysterious error message into something readable and comprehensible. It is weird that you have to assign ASSERT to a variable to have the declaration work in nested linker scripts but hey it works.
