Library and Linking Command-Line Options

This chapter explains the following command-line options:

• -codeaddr
  Sets the runtime address of the executable code.
• -ConvertArchiveToPartialLink
  Extracts all objects from the library files (.a) and then puts them into a partially linked file (plf).
• -dataaddr
  Sets the loading address of the data.
• -genbinary
  Controls the generation of a binary file.
• -gap_fill
  Fills the gap in s-record file.
• -heapaddr
  Sets the runtime address of the heap.
• -heapsize
  Sets the runtime size of the heap, in kilobytes.
• -lcf
  Uses the code and data addresses specified in a linker command file.
• -library
  Generates a static library.
• -linkmode
  Controls the performance of the linker.
• -main
  Specifies the main entry point for the executable image.
• -model
  Specifies the addressing mode that the linker uses when resolving references.
• -noentry
  Specifies no entry point for the executable image.
• -nomain
  Equivalent to -noentry.
• -opt_partial
  Finishes a partial link operation.
• -partial
  Does not report error messages for unresolved symbols.
• -r
  Equivalent to -partial.
• -r1
  Equivalent to -opt_partial.
• -r2
  Equivalent to -resolved_partial.
• -relocate
  Controls the use of relocations contained in DWARF 1. x sections when generating a disassembly of non-executable files.
• -resolved_partial
  Finishes a partial link operation and issues error messages for unresolved symbols.
• -sdataaddr
  Sets the loading address of small data.
• -sdata2addr
  Sets the loading address of small constant data.
• -sdatathreshold
  Limits the size of the largest objects in the small data section.
• -sdata2threshold
  Limits the size of the largest objects in the small constant data section.
• -show
  Specifies the information to list in a disassembly.
• -srec
  Generates an S-record file.
• -sreceol
  Specifies the end-of-line style to use in an S-record file.
• -sreclength
  Specify the length of S-records.
• -stackaddr
  Sets the runtime address of the stack.
• -stacksize
  Sets the runtime size of the stack, in kilobytes.
• -strip_partial
  Removes unreferenced objects on a partially linked image.
• -tune_relocations
  Ensures that references made by the linker conform to the PowerPC EABI (Embedded Application Binary Interface) or position-independent ABI (Application Binary Interface).
• -xtables
  Equivalent to -show exceptions or -show noexceptions.
• -stdlib
  Uses standard system library access paths as specified by the environment variable %MWLibraries% to add system libraries as specified by the environment variable %MWLibraryFiles% at the end of link order.
• -L+
  Adds a new library search path to the default settings list.
• -lr
  Adds a new library search path to the default settings list.
• -l+
  Adds a library by searching access path for a specified library filename.
