@end smallexample
Note the use of the @samp{&} operators. These are correct.
Alternatively the symbols can be treated as the names of vectors or
arrays and then the code will again work as expected:
@smallexample
@group
extern char start_of_ROM[], end_of_ROM[], start_of_FLASH[];
memcpy (start_of_FLASH, start_of_ROM, end_of_ROM - start_of_ROM);
@end group
@end smallexample
Note how using this method does not require the use of @samp{&}
operators.
