Dear all,

I create a project in e2 studio with GCC for Renesas RX toolchain.

In the default linker script there is a section named .gcc_exc.

What is the functionality of this section? Which type of data that I can put in this section?

Thanks for your support!

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us!

The .gcc_exc section is not needed for the RX target. We opened an internal ticket in order to change the name of the section to the correct one used by RX, namely .gcc_except_table.
If you have exception handling enabled, please use the .gcc_except_table instead of the .gcc_exc section.

Best regards,
