The NOOVERLAY directive disables overlay analysis and data
overlaying. When this directive is used, the linker does not overlay
memory used by local variables and function arguments.
Note
Memory overlaying always provides the most economical
utilization of memory space. On occasion, run-time problems may be
inhibited by disabling memory overlaying (using the
NOOVERLAY directive). Typically, these types of run-time
problems are caused by incomplete overlay analysis due to indirect
function calls or function calls that are not obvious to the
linker. In those cases, you should consider manually augmenting the
overlay analysis using the OVERLAY directive.
