C51 |  Linking segments vs. modules Mathias Neuhaus Hi there,
How do I get the linker to just include a single segment of a module (source file) into the output?
I don't need all the segments and don't want to split the source into different files.
bis die Tage...

C51 | RE: Linking segments vs. modules Mathias Neuhaus Hi again,
I (of course :-) want this to be "automagic" and not have to specify any segment I want / don't want.

C51 | RE: Linking segments vs. modules Matthias Hertel Hello,
Maybe it would help if you give me a little example. I think I do not exactly understand what you want to do.

C51 | RE: Linking segments vs. modules Jon Ward You can't. The linker does not work that way. In fact, I'm not sure that there are any linkers that work that way.

C51 | RE: Linking segments vs. modules Mathias Neuhaus Hi,
this would be a killer feature though.
The linker can overlay data and even replace lcall by acall; the gain in codesize by not linking unnecessary segments would be much higher.
This functionality could even be a byproduct of overlaying data! Just tag every segment used (called) and drop all unnecessary segments.

PS: Yes, codesize does matter that much to me. | |
