Repository forces one to fork it, if it is necessary to move the vector table

[Krensi]

In the file "system_stm32g4xx.c" it is necessary to uncomment a line (see code below) to change the vector table offset. I included this repository as a submodule. Therefore, I am forced to fork this repo in order to uncomment the line and commit the change.

A simple #ifdef condition could solve this.

#if defined(USER_VECT_TAB_ADDRESS) /*!< Uncomment the following line if you need to relocate your vector Table in Sram else user remap will be done in Flash. */ /* #define VECT_TAB_SRAM */ #if defined(VECT_TAB_SRAM) #define VECT_TAB_BASE_ADDRESS SRAM_BASE /*!< Vector Table base address field. This value must be a multiple of 0x200. */ #define VECT_TAB_OFFSET 0x00000000U /*!< Vector Table base offset field. This value must be a multiple of 0x200. */ #else #define VECT_TAB_BASE_ADDRESS FLASH_BASE /*!< Vector Table base address field. This value must be a multiple of 0x200. */ #define VECT_TAB_OFFSET 0x00000000U /*!< Vector Table base offset field. This value must be a multiple of 0x200. */ #endif /* VECT_TAB_SRAM */ #endif /* USER_VECT_TAB_ADDRESS */

Hi @Krensi,

Thank you for having reported the point. Indeed, currently, it is not possible to redefined the VECT_TAB_OFFSET unless by manually editing the system_stm32g4xx.c file.

The point has been forwarded to our development teams. We will get back to you as soon as they provide their feedback.

With regards,

Unless I'm misunderstanding the issue, what is the negative to using git update-index --assume-unchanged system_stm32g4xx.c to modify this locally without git reporting an out-of-sync repo while still attempting to merge future changes?
