--bpabi
Creates a Base Platform Application Binary Interface (BPABI) ELF file for passing to a platform-specific post-linker.
Note
Not supported for AArch64 state.Usage
The BPABI model defines a standard-memory model that enables interoperability of BPABI-compliant files across toolchains. When you specify this option:
-
Procedure Linkage Table (PLT) and Global Offset Table (GOT) generation is supported.
The default value of the
--pltgot
option isdirect
.A dynamically linked library (DLL) placed on the command-line can define symbols.
Restrictions
The BPAPI model does not support scatter-loading. However, scatter-loading is supported in the Base Platform model.
Weak references in the dynamic symbol table are permitted only if the
symbol is defined by a DLL placed on the command-line. You cannot place an unresolved weak
reference in the dynamic symbol table with the IMPORT
steering file command.
