Hi Jan-Erik,

Well, the addresses produced at the link stage are *exactly* the same
addresses used at firmware run-time.

I'm not using a compiler -- I'm using assembly language and the assembler
'MPASM'. The section names used with these operators/pseudo-instructions are
not resolvable after the assembling stage -- this is clear if you look at
the .LST file (as shown by the question marks below: ??):

   .
   .
   .
000090  0E??  01379  MOVLW  SCNSTART_UPPER App_ID_Description_string
   .
   .
   .
000096  0E??  01382  MOVLW  SCNSTART_HIGH  App_ID_Description_string
   .
   .
   .
00009C  0E??  01385  MOVLW  SCNSTART_LOW   App_ID_Description_string
   .
   .
   .

Yes, the addresses are resolved at the linking stage with MPLINK, which
*ultimately* provides this information at run-time (when the firmware
executes) for the user. That's the whole point of these handy
operators/pseudo-instructions recently announced.

Best regards,

Ken Pergola
