I made a new segment in the ELF (ARM) game library I am working on (Page Aligned, .text segment (Pure Code)). The entirety of the segment includes only NOPs (0000A0E1). However, IDA recognizes the NOPs as:
DCD 0xE1A00000
If I press C to make it into code, it shows one NOP per line I press it on. When I try to create a function, it tells me that the function has undefined instruction/data at the specified address, and won't let me do it. In addition, each line of the DCD 0xE1A00000s is referenced in the .plt segment because they're referencing an offset out of the segment. This happens even after I turn it into code.
Is there a way to declare the entire segment as code, and/or put a segment property that does this, possibly fixing the function problem?
