This option creates a single relocatable load region with contiguous execution regions.
UsageOnly use this option for legacy systems with the type of relocatable ELF images that conform to the ELF for the ARM Architecture specification. The generated image might not be compliant with the ELF for the ARM Architecture specification.
When relocated MOVT and MOVW instructions
are encountered in an image being linked with --reloc, armlink produces
the following additional dynamic tags:
- DT_RELA
The address of a relocation table.
- DT_RELASZ
The total size, in bytes, of the DT_RELA relocation table.
- DT_RELAENT
The size, in bytes, of the DT_RELA relocation entry.
Note
For new systems, consider using images that conform to the Base Platform Application Binary Interface (BPABI).
