■ Control on combining and locating sections
The following is an overview of the control on combining and locating sections. For details, see Section
"5.2.2 Control on Combining and Locating Sections".
• You can make sure that a section is not located outside the specified area by specifying the address
ranges of ROM and RAM.
• When specifying sections, you may create a group of multiple sections to process them in a batch or
select sections according to attributes.
• You may use a wild card to specify sections. This will allow you to easily specify sections to be
combined or located when many sections are involved.
• The function to support creating a ROM is provided.
• The sections may be automatically located to the specified ROM and RAM areas.
■ Control on Searching Libraries
The following describes in detail the control on searching a library. For details, see Section "5.2.3 Control
on Searching Libraries".
• When a program is developed in C/C++, the runtime library in C/C++ required for linking can be
automatically identified and combined (searching the default library file).
• Multiple libraries created by the user may be searched.
• The library file to be searched may be specified for each symbol.
• Library searching may be inhibited.
■ Setting Entry Addresses and Symbol Values
A value may be temporarily allocated to an undefined external symbol or an entry address may be
