Many special symbols will be defined in the LD link script, which are not in yourProgramBut you can declare and apply them directly, which is called a special symbol.
View the LD default link script:
LD-verbose
We do not need to define these special symbols. We only need to declare the references to use them. The linker will parse the program into a correct value when it finally links it into an executable file, only
These symbols exist only when the LD link is used to generate the final executable file.
The following addresses are all virtual addresses when the program is loaded:
_ Executable_start indicates the starting address of the program. Note that it is not the entry address, but the initial address of the program.
_ Etext, _ etext, or etext. the symbol isCodeThe end address of the segment, that is, the end address of the code segment.
_ Edata or edata indicates the end address of the Data Segment, that is, the end address of the Data Segment.
_ End or end, which is the end address of the program.
