							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								data-section data lives in the text section.  This is only done at
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the very last moment:  your binary data are the same, but data
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								section parts are relocated differently.  The data section part of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								your object file is zero bytes long because all its bytes are
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								appended to the text section.  (See <a href="Sections.html#Sections">Sections and Relocation</a>.)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p>When you specify <span class="option">-R</span> it would be possible to generate shorter
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								address displacements (because we do not have to cross between text and
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								data section).  We refrain from doing this simply for compatibility with
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								older versions of <span class="command">as</span>.  In future, <span class="option">-R</span> may work this way.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p>When <span class="command">as</span> is configured for COFF or ELF output,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								this option is only useful if you use sections named <span class="samp">.text</span> and
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<span class="samp">.data</span>.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p><span class="option">-R</span> is not supported for any of the HPPA targets.  Using
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<span class="option">-R</span> generates a warning from <span class="command">as</span>.
