|
|

|
|
<p>Call and immediate jump instructions on Nios II processors are limited to
|
||
|
|
transferring control to addresses in the same 256MB memory segment,
|
||
|
|
which may result in <code>ld</code> giving
|
||
|
|
‘<samp>relocation truncated to fit</samp>’ errors with very large programs.
|
||
|
|
The command-line option <samp>--relax</samp> enables the generation of
|
||
|
|
trampolines that can access the entire 32-bit address space for calls
|
||
|
|
outside the normal <code>call</code> and <code>jmpi</code> address range. These
|
||
|
|
trampolines are inserted at section boundaries, so may not themselves
|
||
|
|
be reachable if an input section and its associated call trampolines are
|
||
|
|
larger than 256MB.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <samp>--relax</samp> option is enabled by default unless <samp>-r</samp>
|
||
|
|
is also specified. You can disable trampoline generation by using the
|
||
|
|
<samp>--no-relax</samp> linker option. You can also disable this optimization
|
||
|
|
locally by using the ‘<samp>set .noat</samp>’ directive in assembly-language
|
||
|
|
source files, as the linker-inserted trampolines use the <code>at</code>
|
||
|
|
register as a temporary.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Note that the linker <samp>--relax</samp> option is independent of assembler
|
||
|
|
relaxation options, and that using the GNU assembler’s <samp>-relax-all</samp>
|
||
|
|
option interferes with the linker’s more selective call instruction relaxation.
