Now I am not sure if I get it right but I think more or less so :-) I would like to define the names in the linker config and only in the linker config. So that whenever the file names change, one doesn't have to hunt through all the files to change those. Some kind of mechanism would be needed to allow this. Like predefined placeholder symbol or something. One could then reference a symbol like e.g. __MYMEMORYENTRY_FILENAME__, which would be replaced upon linking with appropriate string and (again for a good example) e.g. __MYMEMORYENTRY_FILENAME_LENGTH__ would contain what it says. This more or less means that linker would have to place the string where the symbol is so that the file names defined in the linker config would be accessible from the code.
