The .weak bug in gcc - PDonchev - 19-04-2022
Hi embitz,
Do you have any plans to update the gcc compiler that came with EmBitz?
The .weak bug is very annoying: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=83967
I can't use the "generic" compiler because it's reserved for other purposes (ESP8266). Is it possible to add support for more "generic" compilers in the future?
RE: The .weak bug in gcc - embitz - 20-04-2022
EmBitz after 2.30 is using 9.3.1 and your "bug" reference is about 7.2.1
If I use LTO I always make this workable by changing the build priority of the particular files so that they will be linked before the .weak functions are pulled in.
Tip: This workaround can also be found on the internet where users are discussing these problems.

I was confused by "Lower weight means higher priority (order of compiling)". After I set the startup .s file to 0 (where a weak handler is defined) and the .c file to 100, the code is built correctly.
