This PR introduces a new
__builtin_cheriot_sealing_typebuilt-in command in clang, that should replace theCHERIOT_EMIT_STATIC_SEALING_TYPEmacro, as referenced in #6. Its syntax resembles that of a call to a C++ template function:Of course, it can be used in plain C as well, with the same syntax.
The side effects of this call is that two new entries,
and
are generated, respectively in the
.compartment_importsand.compartment_exportssections. The value of the import is a sequence of two words, the address of the export and0; the value of the export reproduces the value generated in the original macro.
