Hi AJ. __aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr0 is part of the standard ARM exception handling code and helps in unwinding the stack frame when an exception occurs. This suggests that the binary cmem.a470MV can throw exceptions and therefore needs exception handling.

I don't think this is a toolchain bug as this function is included in libgcc_eh.a and is normally pulled in automatically. Could you add '-v' to your linker flags and send through the result?

Hi AJ. Exception support can still be turned on in C code when it's supposed to interoperate with C++ code. An example is the 64 bit division routine in libgcc - it could potentially throw a division by zero exception when called from C++ code even though the function is written in C.

What is an "exception" in C? There is no CPP (.cpp or .cxx) code in any of these libraries.

Interesting thing though: cmem has a userspace and kernelspace component. TI does really nasty stuff, like pull in .h files from the kernel and whatnot. I just tried again against the 2.6.38 kernel (was 2.6.36 this morning) and there is no error. http://lxr.free-electrons.com/ident?i=__aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr0 Perhaps it's just something in my .config that turns that on or off in the kernel.

I forgot to post back that I did eventually find the solution to this problem. I had it come back and bite me in the butt a second time and it took me a lot longer to figure it out because I kept finding this thread and not the thread where I had made mention of the solution.

Dear Future AJ,

This is how you solved the problem:

http://e2e.ti.com/support/dsp/omap_applications_processors/f/447/t/104381.as...

A little tweak to linkcmd.xdt got me most of the way there. ~/ti/dvsdk/dvsdk_3_01_00_10/xdctools_3_16_01_27/packages/gnu/targets/arm/linkcmd.xdt

INPUT( %for (var i = 0; i < $args.length; i++) { `$args[i]` %}

/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.5.2/libgcc_eh.a

/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/libc.a

/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.5/libgcc.a )

Also:

__aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr0 is part of the standard ARM exception

handling code and helps in unwinding the stack frame when an exception occurs.

__aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr0 is defined in libgcc_eh.a

Additionally, I believe the problem can be solved by coping

/* Dummy functions to avoid linker complaints */ void __aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr0(void) { };

to cmemk.c

I'm testing both methods again. If anything is different this time around I'll be posting back with more updates.
