publish error in "end()" function

[LucasMahieu]

When I want to publish a value, the function "end" is called. All time this function is used, I can see the program into Hard_Fault_handler.

[LucasMahieu]

This bug is due to the definition of the function end into my linker script. I think that this name is used to manage the head. So We should rename this function.

Good catch Lucas

Could you post here the contents of your linker scripts ?

[LucasMahieu]

for sure, here it is :
