Chapter 3 Introduction to Operation

Link

Link the two relocatable object files to generate an executable format file. Specify the g option to add debug information to the executable format file.

A>ld103 -m -g -T_CODE_00=800000000 -T_CODE_01=80005000 program3.rf program4.rf

m option	Option to output map file.
g option	Option to add debug information to the executable format file.
T option	Option to specify section address.

The above command line links two relocatable object files (program3.rf and program4.rf) in the current directory, assigning the starting address 80000000 (hex.) to section _CODE_00 and the starting address 80005000 (hex.) to section _CODE_01, and creates an executable file (m103.ex) including debugging information and a map file (m103.map) in the current directory.

Parameter file during linking

The following command was input to link.

A>ld103 -m -g -T_CODE_00=800000000 -T_CODE_01=80005000 program3.rf program4.rf

Repeated input of lines like this is tedious and prone to errors. For this reason the very convenient @ option is provided with the linker. With an editor create a file PFILE (the name can be freely chosen) with the following contents.

The contents of pfile are as follows.

-m -g

-T_CODE_00 =80000000

-T_CODE_01 =80005000

program3.rf program4.rf

This file is called a parameter file. If the @ option is specified when linking, the linker will read a parameter file, and will interpret its contents as command options for execution.

The two specifications below will be equivalent.

ld103 @PFILE

ld103 -m -g -T_CODE_00=80000000 -T_CODE_01=80005000 program3.rf program4.rf
