-frwpi, -fno-rwpi
Enables or disables the generation of Read-Write Position-Independent (RWPI) code.
Usage
When generating RWPI code, the compiler:
- Addresses the writable data using offsets from the static base register
sb
. This means that:- The base address of the RW data region can be fixed at runtime.
- Data can have multiple instances.
- Data can be, but does not have to be, position-independent.
- Sets the PI attribute on read/write output sections.
Note
- This option is independent from
-fropi
, meaning that these two options can be used individually or together. - When using
-frwpi
,-frwpi-lowering
and-fropi-lowering
are automatically enabled.
Restrictions
The following restrictions apply:
- This option is not supported in AArch64 state.
- This option is not compatible with
-fpic
,-fpie
, or-fbare-metal-pie
options.
Default
The default is -fno-rwpi
.
