• __NEAR_SEG, __SHORT_SEG: use 16-bit addressing

name

A section name. You must use a section name defined in your project's linker command file.

To specify the section in which to store constant character strings and the addressing mode to refer to this data, place this pragma before character string literal values. Use this pragma when porting source code for HC08 architectures to ColdFire V1 architectures.

Use DEFAULT to use the parameters specified in the previous use of this pragma.

The following listing shows an example.

/* Place "longitude" and "altitude" in section rodata. */
const char* s1 = "longitude";

char* s2 = "altitude";

/* Place "latitude" in section sdata. */

char s3[50] = "latitude";

#pragma STRING_SEG MYSTRINGS

/* Place "liberty" and "fraternity" in section MYSTRINGS. */

const char* s4 = "liberty";

char* s5 = "fraternity";

/* "equality" will go in section sdata. */

char s6[50] = "equality";
