Re: Convenience variable for filename in add-symbol-file not expanded

[David Lamy-Charrier <david dot lamy at gmail dot com>]

Dieter,

Thanks for your response, but your solution allows to expand
convenience variable used
for section address parameter, I want to expand a convenience variable
for the filename parameter, so instead of value_as_address() it should
be a kind of value_as_string...

Regards,
David
