QUESTION
How do I calculate the amount of additional code space if I have a code banking program and I add another code bank?
ANSWER
In most cases, this calculation is simple. It is equal to the size of the bank area. This is usually specified on the linker command line as BANKAREA(0x8000-0xFFFF).
You must also deduct a little space from the common area for inter-bank function calls to routines in the new code bank (typically 8 bytes per function).
