hello forum

I am trying to compile a C program for STM32F4 microcontroller with Eclipse + yagarto compiler I get the error;undefined reference to `_impure_ptr' there is no function ''impure_ptr'' in whole project the error pointer points to a line containing only     } -------------------------------------------- This build of yagarto use the following versions:

binutils: 2.20.1

gcc: 4.5.1 newlib: 1.18.0 gdb: 7.1 (13.08.2010, mifi) ----------------------------------- In my code I include &sharpinclude <stdio.h>

&sharpinclude <string.h>

this must be something related to C compiler however I dont know what how can I get rid of this ? #eclipse-yagarto

''undefined reference to `_impure_ptr'''

Where, exactly, do you get that? Show the code.''there is no function 'impure_ptr' in whole project'' Why do you think it's a function?

hello , here is a screenshot

I searched google - it says this error is related to newlib or something like that however I couldnot find any answer how to solve this problem

The linker is driven by the LD and LDFLAGS lines, fix those.
