6.2 Details of Linker Options
6.2.6 Specifying Padding Data (-p)
This option is an option filled up with the value which specified the crevice between the
objects generated in boundary adjustment etc.
This option is effective only when creating a absolute format load module.
It is invalid when creating a relative format load module.
■ Specifying Padding Data (-p)
[Format]
-p < Value > ( Default:0 )
[Parameter]
One-byte data
[Description]
The value of the byte that fills the crevice between the objects which generated the absolute format load
module file by section arrangement at the time of creation is directed.
The value of 0 to 255 can be specified.
In case section arrangement is performed by linker, several bytes of crevice where object data does not
exist as shown in Figure 6.2-3 may occur according to conditions, such as boundary adjustment of a
section.

Section A
2 bytes of crevice generated by
boundary adjustment of Section B
Section B
The section specified that it
arranges on a 4-byte boundary.
This option is used when the crevice generated by section arrangement is filled up with a specific data
value.
Linker fills the crevice where object data does not exist by 0, when this option is not specified.
[Example]
flnk911s a1 a2 a3 -p 255... A crevice is filled up with 255.
flnk911s a1 a2 a3 -p 0xff... A crevice is filled up with 255.
flnk911s a1 a2 a3 -p 0xaa... A crevice is filled up with 170.
