Enables and disables API section sorting. API sections are the sections that are called the most within a region. In large region mode these sections are extracted from the region and then inserted closest to the hotspots of the calling sections. This minimises the number of veneers generated.
The default is --no_api. The linker automatically
switches to --api if at least one execution region
contains more code than the smallest inter-section branch. The smallest
inter-section branch depends on the code in the region and the target
processor:
- 32Mb
Execution region contains only A32.
- 16Mb
Execution region contains 32-bit T32 instructions.
- 4Mb
Execution region contains only 16-bit T32 instructions.
