Differences

-mangled

This option instructs the linker to display mangled C++ symbol names in

diagnostic messages and listings.

New scatter loading attributes

The scatter load syntax has been extended to include a new attribute for execution

regions:

FIXED

Fixed address. Both the load address and execution address of the region

is specified by the base address (the region is a root region.)

Changed linker behavior

The following changes have been made to the linker behavior:

• The linker now unmangles C++ symbol names by default, in all listings and

diagnostic messages.

• The linker generates two new region-related symbols:

Image$$region_name$$Limit

Address of the byte beyond the end of the execution region.

Image$$region_name$$ZI$$Limit

Address of the byte beyond the end of the ZI output section in the

execution region.

See the description of linker-defined symbols in the ADS Linker and Utilities

Guide for more information, including a description of how to use the

Image$$region_name$$ZI$$Limit

symbol to place a heap directly after the ZI

region. For new projects it is recommended that you use the region-related

symbols rather than section-related symbols.

• The linker no longer generates a warning message if there is a duplicate definition

of a symbol:

Both ARM & Thumb versions of symbol present in image

• The linker options

-split

and

-rwpi

now assume

-rw-base 0

if no

-rw-base

value

is specified.
