APPENDIX D Notes on Using Little Endian Areas
D.3 Linker (flnk911)
The following two items require caution with respect to link-time section allocation
during program design when employing little endian areas.
• Restriction on section types
• No detection of errors
■Restriction on Section Types
Only data sections with no initial value can be allocated to little endian areas.
If data, stack, and code sections with initial values are alloc ated to li ttle endia n areas, the resu lt
of subsequent operations cannot be guaranteed because operation s such as resolving
addresses are executed by the linker in big endian areas.
■No Detection of Errors
The linker outputs no error messages for allocations that vi olate t he abov e rest rictio n becau se it
does not recognize little endian areas. Before using little endian a reas, check the contents of
the sections allocated to those areas.
