BL51: Locating Functions at Ascending Addresses

Information in this article applies to:

• C51 Version 5.0 and later

QUESTION

When I link my C51 application, I would like to locate the functions in a source module in ascending order starting at a specific address. I know I can use the linker CODE directive to do this for each individual function, but can I do it for all the functions in a module?

ANSWER

No. This is not possible with C51 Version 5 or later. It has been added in C51 V6.01. Refer to BL51: Using Wildcards in Segment Names for more information.
