Chapter 3 Introduction to Operation

Depending on the option specifications input for the source file and map file, a list file will be output with fully resolved addresses.

The map file is used to output a list file with fully resolved addresses.

The linker inputs relocatable object files output by the assembler and, depending on option specifications, library files. It generates an executable format file and, depending on option specifications, a map file.

Library files are collections of relocatable object files of frequently used programs and hardware interface programs. Only needed modules are specified to have the linker extract the appropriate relocatable object files from library files and load them into the executable format file. Several library files are provided, but you can maintain them or newly create them yourself. Refer to chapter 15, "Using The Library Manager", for details.

You cannot force different extensions for map files and list files. You can only specify whether or not to output these files. However, the extensions of relocatable object files and the executable format file can be changed with assembler and linker option specifications. In this case, the file specification must include the extension.
