+==== Bug: Miscompilations involving far function pointers ====
 In some cases, when calling pointers from arrays of far function pointers in optimization modes >= -O1, the code will be miscompiled. This is a [[https://github.com/tkchia/gcc-ia16/issues/120|known issue]], with no ETA for a fix.
-One can work around this by annotating the affected function to be compiled without optimizations:
+One can work around this by annotating the affected function to be compiled without optimizations. In particular, one can create a separate function that //only// acts as a wrapper for the function call:
 <code C>
-__attribute__((optimize("-O0"))) // https://github.com/tkchia/gcc-ia16/issues/120
+__attribute__((noinline, optimize("-O0"))) // https://github.com/tkchia/gcc-ia16/issues/120
 void call_to_my_function_table(uint8_t index) {
     my_function_table[index]();
 }

+==== Issue: wwitch target and interrupt handlers ====
+The wwitch target does not support relocation; as such, far functions (which interrupt handlers have to be) cannot be created in sections other than the default text section. This can be most easily achieved by building with ''-fno-function-sections'' in CFLAGS.
