Is it possible to use the linker directive definitions for memory
sections in ada?
I want to create a constant in ada that is initialised to the ld
memory definition.
i.e.

ld file;

MEMORY {
    Buffer       : ORIGIN = 0x00000000, LENGTH = 256
    dram_memory  : ORIGIN = ., 	LENGTH = 1M - 256
}

Ada file;

MY_BUFFER : constant ADDRESS_TYPE := Import ld definition of buffer.

I would prefer to do this the other way around but i seriously doubt
that is possible.

If none of this is possible then i will just have to make duplicate
definitions of the same value.

Regards,
Rich
