I do have some doubts about __attribute__((section("name")) .What is the real use of defining a user defined .section? Is there any examples to shows how it is useful?

  • You might want to clarify if the question is directed at e.g. linux kernel code, otherwise it's a question more suited for stackoverflow Commented Feb 3, 2020 at 10:41
  • There are quite a few examples on sources.debian.org (but that doesn’t explain why it’s useful). Commented Feb 3, 2020 at 11:43
  • @Torin, I believe this is allowed in both kernel and user space code. If I understand correctly in kernel code, a whole section can be loaded and unloaded/destroyed from memory when not in use. This is one of the uses(?) . Or is there an another use with section? Commented Feb 3, 2020 at 16:08
