            Bug ID: 18912
           Summary: Off-by-one error in ld documentation
           Product: binutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: markrages at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

In ld/ld.texinfo, the following example code is offered:

>  start_of_ROM   = .ROM;
>  end_of_ROM     = .ROM + sizeof (.ROM) - 1;
>  start_of_FLASH = .FLASH;
> 
> Then the C source code to perform the copy would be:
> 
>  extern char start_of_ROM, end_of_ROM, start_of_FLASH;
> 
>  memcpy (& start_of_FLASH, & start_of_ROM, & end_of_ROM - & start_of_ROM);

But I think this does not copy the last byte of ROM due to the -1 in
the end_of_ROM definition.
