| |
GCC unescapes escaped string section names while Clang does not. Because __section uses the `#` stringification operator for the section name, it doesn't need to be escaped.
Instead, we should: 1. Prefer __section(.section_name_no_quotes). 2. Only use __attribute__((__section(".section"))) when creating the section name via C preprocessor (see the definition of __define_initcall in arch/um/include/shared/init.h).
This antipattern was found with: $ grep -e __section\(\" -e __section__\(\" -r
