pw::LinkerSymbol< T > Class Template Reference

Overview

template<class T = uintptr_t>
class pw::LinkerSymbol< T >

Represents a symbol provided by the linker, i.e. via a linker script.

LinkerSymbol objects are used with linker-provided symbols that don't have storage (which is common), and only provide a value e.g.

MY_LINKER_VARIABLE = 42

LinkerSymbol objects are not actual variables (do not have storage) and thus cannot be created; they can only be used with an extern "C" declaration. The purpose is to communicate values from the linker script to C++ code.

Example:

#include "pw_build/linker_symbol.h"
 
extern "C" pw::LinkerSymbol<uint32_t> MY_LINKER_VARIABLE;
 
uint32_t GetMyLinkerVariable() {
  return MY_LINKER_VARIABLE.value();
}

Template Parameters

T	The type of the value communicated by the linker, defaulting to uintptr_t. Must be an integral or enum type, no larger than uintptr_t.
