`--bincombined_padding=size,num`

This option enables you to specify a different padding value from the default used by the --bincombined output mode.

Restrictions

You must use --bincombined with this option. If you omit --bincombined, a warning message is displayed.

Syntax

--bincombined_padding=size,num

Where:

size: is 1, 2, or 4 bytes to define whether it is a byte, halfword, or word.
num: is the value to be used for padding. If you specify a value that is too large to fit in the specified size, a warning message is displayed.

Note

fromelf expects that 2-byte and 4-byte padding values are specified in the appropriate endianness for the input file. For example, if you are translating a big endian ELF file into binary, the specified padding value is treated as a big endian word or halfword.

Default

The default is --bincombined_padding=1,0xFF.

Example

The following examples show how to use --bincombined_padding:

--bincombined --bincombined_padding=4,0x12345678: This example produces plain binary output and fills the space between load regions with copies of the 32-bit word 0x12345678.
--bincombined --bincombined_padding=2,0x1234: This example produces plain binary output and fills the space between load regions with copies of the 16-bit halfword 0x1234.
--bincombined --bincombined_padding=2,0x01: This example when specified for big endian memory, fills the space between load regions with 0x0100.
