Usage

Input objects might contain common data (COMDAT) groups, but these might not be identical across all input objects because of differences such as objects compiled with different optimization levels.

Use --bestdebug to select COMDAT groups with the best debug view. Be aware that the code and data of the final image might not be the same when building with or without debug.

Default

The default is --no_bestdebug. The smallest COMDAT groups are selected when linking, at the expense of a possibly slightly poorer debug illusion.

Example

For two objects compiled with different optimization levels:

armclang --target=arm-arm-none-eabi -march=armv8-a -c -O2 file1.c
armclang --target=arm-arm-none-eabi -march=armv8-a -c -O0 file2.c
armlink --bestdebug file1.o file2.o -o image.axf
