INCBIN changes .section for subsequent code about incbin HOT 6 CLOSED

I think it may be possible to reset to the .text.

Maybe .pushsection and .popsection?, I haven't used these before, so maybe I'm equivocated.

Hi! I encountered this problem when building a C++ program which refused to link with LTO, and found the solution in the GCC bug tracker: 78613 and 47071. The fix was indeed simple:

diff -up incbin.h~ incbin.h

     ); \
     INCBIN_EXTERN(NAME)

..and voilà: no more section mismatches during linking 😄

This is a good solution to the problem. I just need to make sure .previous works on all the assembler toolchains.

It looks like this is already fixed with resetting back to the .text section so I sense you just have an out of date copy of incbin maybe?

I used (and patched) the one that came bundled with the source of the package that had problems, and that didn't yet have the fix on master. However said package no loger uses incbin, so .. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
