Compiler Command-line Options
Restrictions
This option reduces the potential for sharing addresses, data, and string literals between
functions. Consequently, it might increase code size slightly for some functions.
Example
int f(int x)
{
return x+1;
}
Compiling this code with --split_sections produces:
f PROC
AREA ||i.f||, CODE, READONLY, ALIGN=2
ADD r0,r0,#1
BX lr
ENDP

2.1.152 --strict, --no_strict
This option enforces or relaxes strict C or strict C++, depending on the choice of source
language used.
When --strict is selected:
• features that conflict with ISO C or ISO C++ are disabled
• error messages are returned when nonstandard features are used.
Default
The default is --no_strict.
