None
[Detailed description]
- | This option fills the vacant area of the output range with user-specified data data. |
- | The items that can be specified as data are shown below. |
|
Numerical Value
|
Hexadecimal value
|
|
Random
|
Random number
|
- | The way of filling unused areas differs with the output range specification as follows. |
- | When the -Output option is used to specify sections as the range for output: |
The specified numerical value is output to unused areas between the specified sections.
- | When the -Output option is used to specify a range of addresses as the range for output: |
The specified numerical value is output to unused areas within the specified address range.
- | When the -FIX_RECORD_LENGTH_AND_ALIGN option is specified: |
The specified numerical value is output to an unused area at the top of a section, which starts at an address that can be divided by the alignment number.
The specified numerical value is output when the end of a section does not reach the specified record length.
- | Output data sizes in units of 1, 2, or 4 bytes are valid. The size is determined by the hexadecimal number specified using this option.
If a 3-byte value is specified, the upper digit is extended with 0 to handle it as a 4-byte value.
If an odd number of digits is specified, the upper digit is extended with 0 to handle it as an even number of digits. |
- | If the size of a vacant area is not a multiple of the size of the output data, the value is output as many times as possible, and then a warning will be output. |
[Example of use]
- | To fill the vacant memory area with "0xff" within the range from address 0x100 to address 0x2FF, describe as: |
>rlink a.obj b.obj -form=hexadecimal -output=file1=100-2ff -start=.SEC1/100,.SEC2/200 -space=ff
|
[Remark]
- | If the specification of the data is omitted in this option, vacant areas are not filled with values. |
- | This option is valid only when the -form={binary|stype|hexadecimal} option is specified. |
- | If the output range is not specified in the -output option and the -fix_record_length_and_align option is not specified, this option will be invalid. |
