Linker Command File Keyword Listing
This section explains the keywords available for use when creating CodeWarrior
Development Studio for Motorola 56800/E Hybrid Controllers application objects
with the linker command file. Valid linker command file functions, keywords,
directives, and commands are:
. (location counter)
The period character (.) always maintains the current position of the output location.
Since the period always refers to a location in a
SECTIONS block, it can not be used
outside a section definition.
A period may appear anywhere a symbol is allowed. Assigning a value to period that
is greater than its current value causes the location counter to move, but the location
counter can never be decremented.
This effect can be used to create empty space in an output section. In the example
below, the location counter is moved to a position that is
0x1000 bytes past the symbol
FSTART_.
