This chapter will describe the functions of the Linker lk62.
6.1 Functions
The Linker lk62 is a software that generates executable object files. It provides the following functions:
• Puts together multiple object modules to create one executable object file.
• Resolves external reference from one module to another.
• Relocates relative addresses to absolute addresses.
• Delivers debugging information, such as line numbers and symbol information, in the object file
created after linking.
• Capable of outputting a link map file, symbol file, absolute list file and a cross reference file.
• Automatic page correction function (insertion/removal/correction of the pset instruction) for branch
instructions.
