BL51: SPECIFYING THE ORDER IN WHICH OBJ FILES ARE LINKED

Information in this article applies to:

• C51 Version 5.50
• C51 Version 6.00 Beta
• C51 Version 6.00

QUESTION

Is it possible to specify the order in which the OBJ files that make up my program are linked together?

ANSWER

Yes. OBJ files are linked in the order in which they are specified on the linker command line. If you use µVision or µVision2, the OBJ files are linked in the order in which they are specified in your project file.

To link library files in a particular order, you must manually specify the segments from the library in the order you want them to be linked. For example:

BL51 myfile.obj, mylib.lib(mymodule1, mymodule2)

MORE INFORMATION

• Refer to Command Prompt in the BL51 User's Guide.
