Considerations when using a relative address +offset for load regions

Be aware of the following when using +offset to specify a load region base address:

  • If the +offset load region LR2 follows a load region LR1 containing ZI data, then LR2 overlaps the ZI data. To fix this, use the ImageLimit() function to specify the base address of LR2.

  • A +offset load region LR2 inherits the attributes of the load region LR1 immediately before it, unless:

    • LR1 has the OVERLAY attribute

    • LR2 has an explicit attribute set.

    If a load region is unable to inherit an attribute, then it gets the attribute ABSOLUTE.
