Can't use a function more than once

[yimtaka]

Hi all,

I am new to the forum and have just started development for the PSP. I am using devkitpro to develop for the PSP.
I have created a function and if I call that function more than once, when trying to compile I get the error:

.ent or .aent not in text section
.end not in text section
operation combines symbols in different segments

an example of a function is:

int testF(int val)
{
return val*2;
}

if I call the above function such as:

int tval=testF();

it works but if I call it twice:

int tval=testF();
int tval2=testF();

and the code doesn't compile.

Sorry if the answer exists already, I tried searching but didn't find anything.

could you post the output here? and maybe the whole source+make

Your function requires an int value. So you have to change it from:

int tval=testF();
int tval2=testF();

to...

int tval=testF(x);
int tval2=testF(x);

where X is a number.

Sorry I can't at the moment as I am at work. I used the sample from the SDK folder called ortho in the GU folder. I just added a function to it.
Could I be missing something in the make file?

yes you're right, it's my mistake typing the example but even that produces the same error.

You'll have to post the full code and error output; you haven't given us enough information to answer.

it's working now!. I removed the -O2 parameter from the makefile and it compiles and works on my psp now. Sorry for the lack of information.

I guess, its an alias optimization issue.
