Linker Map File

A linker map file is a text file containing information about a program's global symbols, source file and source line numbers. The linker names the map file with the base name of the program and the extension .map. The linker map consists of the following sections:

• Closure
  Details of all the required object listed under the closure section, by the linker.
• Section Layout
  The linker lists information of all the objects within a section in a section layout.
• Memory Map
  You can verify segment allocation from the Memory map section in a linker map file.
• Linker Generated Symbols
  The CodeWarrior linker automatically generates symbols for the start address, the end address (the first byte after the last byte of the section), and the start address for the section if it will be burned into ROM.
