--merge, --no_merge
Enables or disables the merging of const
strings that are placed in shareable sections by the compiler.
Usage
Using --merge
can reduce the size of the image if there are similarities
between const
strings.
Use --info=merge
to see a listing of the merged
const
strings.
By default, merging happens between different load and execution regions. Therefore, code from one execution or load region might use a string stored in different region. If you do not want this behavior, then do one of the following:
- Use the
PROTECTED
load region attribute if you are using scatter-loading. - Globally disable merging with
--no_merge
.
Default
The default is --merge
.
