							 |

|

| 
								 | 
							
								<p><a name="index-_003d_0040var_007bfillexp_007d-426"></a><a name="index-section-fill-pattern-427"></a><a name="index-fill-pattern_002c-entire-section-428"></a>You can set the fill pattern for an entire section by using
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<span class="samp">=</span><var>fillexp</var>.  <var>fillexp</var> is an expression
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								(see <a href="Expressions.html#Expressions">Expressions</a>).  Any otherwise unspecified regions of memory
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								within the output section (for example, gaps left due to the required
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								alignment of input sections) will be filled with the value, repeated as
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								necessary.  If the fill expression is a simple hex number, ie. a string
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								of hex digit starting with <span class="samp">0x</span> and without a trailing <span class="samp">k</span> or <span class="samp">M</span>, then
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								an arbitrarily long sequence of hex digits can be used to specify the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								fill pattern;  Leading zeros become part of the pattern too.  For all
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								other cases, including extra parentheses or a unary <code>+</code>, the fill
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								pattern is the four least significant bytes of the value of the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								expression.  In all cases, the number is big-endian.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p>You can also change the fill value with a <code>FILL</code> command in the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								output section commands; (see <a href="Output-Section-Data.html#Output-Section-Data">Output Section Data</a>).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p>Here is a simple example:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<pre class="smallexample">     SECTIONS { .text : { *(.text) } =0x90909090 }
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</pre>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   </body></html>
