IAR Embedded Workbench for RH850 3.20.x

‑‑section

In this section:
Syntax
‑‑section OldName=NewName
Description

The compiler places functions and data objects into named sections which are referred to by the IAR ILINK Linker. Use this option to change the name of the section OldName to NewName.

This is useful if you want to place your code or data in different address ranges and you find the @ notation, alternatively the #pragma location directive, insufficient.

Note

Any changes to the section names require corresponding modifications in the linker configuration file.

Example

To place functions in the section MyText, use:

‑‑section .text=MyText
