Usage

A tail calling section is a section that contains a branch instruction at the end of the section. The branch must have a relocation that targets a function at the start of a section.

Default

The default is --no_tailreorder.

Restrictions

The linker:

• Can only move one tail calling section for each tail call target. If there are multiple tail calls to a single section, the tail calling section with an identical section name is moved before the target. If no section name is found in the tail calling section that has a matching name, then the linker moves the first section it encounters.

• Cannot move a tail calling section out of its execution region.

• Does not move tail calling sections before inline veneers.
