<h4 class="subsection">9.36.1 Command Line Options</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Xtensa version of the <span class="sc">gnu</span> assembler supports these
|
|
special options:
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><code>--text-section-literals | --no-text-section-literals</code><dd><a name="index-_002d_002dtext_002dsection_002dliterals-1837"></a><a name="index-_002d_002dno_002dtext_002dsection_002dliterals-1838"></a>Control the treatment of literal pools. The default is
|
|
<span class="samp">--no-text-section-literals</span>, which places literals in
|
|
separate sections in the output file. This allows the literal pool to be
|
|
placed in a data RAM/ROM. With <span class="samp">--text-section-literals</span>, the
|
|
literals are interspersed in the text section in order to keep them as
|
|
close as possible to their references. This may be necessary for large
|
|
assembly files, where the literals would otherwise be out of range of the
|
|
<code>L32R</code> instructions in the text section. These options only affect
|
|
literals referenced via PC-relative <code>L32R</code> instructions; literals
|
|
for absolute mode <code>L32R</code> instructions are handled separately.
|
|
See <a href="Literal-Directive.html#Literal-Directive">literal</a>.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>--absolute-literals | --no-absolute-literals</code><dd><a name="index-_002d_002dabsolute_002dliterals-1839"></a><a name="index-_002d_002dno_002dabsolute_002dliterals-1840"></a>Indicate to the assembler whether <code>L32R</code> instructions use absolute
|
|
or PC-relative addressing. If the processor includes the absolute
|
|
addressing option, the default is to use absolute <code>L32R</code>
|
|
relocations. Otherwise, only the PC-relative <code>L32R</code> relocations
|
|
can be used.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>--target-align | --no-target-align</code><dd><a name="index-_002d_002dtarget_002dalign-1841"></a><a name="index-_002d_002dno_002dtarget_002dalign-1842"></a>Enable or disable automatic alignment to reduce branch penalties at some
|
|
expense in code size. See <a href="Xtensa-Automatic-Alignment.html#Xtensa-Automatic-Alignment">Automatic Instruction Alignment</a>. This optimization is enabled by default. Note
|
|
that the assembler will always align instructions like <code>LOOP</code> that
|
|
have fixed alignment requirements.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>--longcalls | --no-longcalls</code><dd><a name="index-_002d_002dlongcalls-1843"></a><a name="index-_002d_002dno_002dlongcalls-1844"></a>Enable or disable transformation of call instructions to allow calls
|
|
across a greater range of addresses. See <a href="Xtensa-Call-Relaxation.html#Xtensa-Call-Relaxation">Function Call Relaxation</a>. This option should be used when call
|
|
targets can potentially be out of range. It may degrade both code size
|
|
and performance, but the linker can generally optimize away the
|
|
unnecessary overhead when a call ends up within range. The default is
|
|
<span class="samp">--no-longcalls</span>.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>--transform | --no-transform</code><dd><a name="index-_002d_002dtransform-1845"></a><a name="index-_002d_002dno_002dtransform-1846"></a>Enable or disable all assembler transformations of Xtensa instructions,
|
|
including both relaxation and optimization. The default is
|
|
<span class="samp">--transform</span>; <span class="samp">--no-transform</span> should only be used in the
|
|
rare cases when the instructions must be exactly as specified in the
|
|
assembly source. Using <span class="samp">--no-transform</span> causes out of range
|
|
instruction operands to be errors.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>--rename-section </code><var>oldname</var><code>=</code><var>newname</var><dd><a name="index-_002d_002drename_002dsection-1847"></a>Rename the <var>oldname</var> section to <var>newname</var>. This option can be used
|
|
multiple times to rename multiple sections.
