|
|
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>.
