SPEEDOVL Linker Directive

Abbreviation	SP
Arguments	None.
Default	BL51 includes references from constant segments to program segments during overlay analysis.
µVision	Options — BL51 Misc — Misc Controls.
Description	The SPEEDOVL directive causes the BL51 Linker to ignore references from constant segments (that begin with ?CO?) to program segments (that begin with ?PR?) during overlay analysis. This improves the execution speed of the linker. This directive may be required if your application has a large number of constant segments and the linker requires a very long time to run. This directive might also be useful for applications that contain complex pointers to constant function tables that should not be included in overlay analysis. Note If you use function pointers in your application you must manually adjust the call tree (using the OVERLAY directive) or the SPEEDOVL directive may result in unreported warnings.
