Subject: RE: strtok
I wouldn't like to bother you more than neccessary, but if you don't mind (as I hope :), I have one more question:
Do we really need got table for a noMMU MCU? Fdpic uses it and I was looking for the answer what is it for pretty long - no success. Wouldn't it be enough just to keep the data segment offset in r9 and make all the data relative to it (in compiler)? That would get rid of the whole got table complexities. Bad idea? :)
Thanks
R

If multiple programs are running, each needs its own execution context
including its own versions of all libc (and any other) global data.
Probably you should look into the ARM FDPIC ABI, which is the right
way to do this while still sharing program text for MMU-less
microcontrollers like the one you're working with. The tooling should
be mature now so that support could be added to musl, but making it
happen needs people who are interested in providing feedback and
testing.
