Re: [avr-gcc-list] Is some special attribute or qualifier required tomake C function tables to use the right linker stubs?

Sorry, I meant if gcc will create the right relocation for the function 
pointer value, so that the linker puts a stub in trampolines, or if I 
have to use some special attribute to make it do so for some pointers.

You've already answer this below, so the answer is that gcc wiill always 
create a 16-bit relocation and the linker will create a stub always for 
function pointers going into data objetcs, or only for the ones above 
128Kb (64Kwords) if linker relaxation is selected.

Thanks for the help.
