11.6 --autoat, --no_autoat
Controls the automatic assignment of __at
sections to execution regions.
__at
sections are sections that must be placed at a specific address.
Usage
If enabled, the linker automatically selects an execution region for each
__at
section. If a suitable execution region does not exist, the linker
creates a load region and an execution region to contain the __at
section.
If disabled, the standard scatter-loading section selection rules apply.
Default
The default is --autoat
.
Restrictions
You cannot use __at
section placement with position independent execution
regions.
If you use __at
sections with overlays, you cannot use
--autoat
to place those sections. You must specify the names of
__at
sections in a scatter file manually, and specify the
--no_autoat
option.
