Linking Modes of the GCC4TI Linker |
Previous | The GCC4TI Linker | Next |
A linking mode defines how the linker treats the contents of the program after they have been read from the object files. The GCC4TI linker has several different modes; some of them are related to specific output file formats, and some of them are present only for historical reasons.
The recommended mode for normal GCC4TI programs is GCC4TI-native mode. It is the simplest mode; the program is basically an empty sheet of paper, which can be filled with code of all sorts. The default mode is actually kernel mode unless you set the appropriate command-line option, to make old existing programs work without modifications.
