<dd><p>SPU local store space is limited. Over-allocation of stack space
|

|
|
unnecessarily limits space available for code and data, while
|
||
|
|
under-allocation results in runtime failures. If given this option,
|
||
|
|
<code>ld</code> will provide an estimate of maximum stack usage.
|
||
|
|
<code>ld</code> does this by examining symbols in code sections to
|
||
|
|
determine the extents of functions, and looking at function prologues
|
||
|
|
for stack adjusting instructions. A call-graph is created by looking
|
||
|
|
for relocations on branch instructions. The graph is then searched
|
||
|
|
for the maximum stack usage path. Note that this analysis does not
|
||
|
|
find calls made via function pointers, and does not handle recursion
|
||
|
|
and other cycles in the call graph. Stack usage may be
|
||
|
|
under-estimated if your code makes such calls. Also, stack usage for
|
||
|
|
dynamic allocation, e.g. alloca, will not be detected. If a link map
|
||
|
|
is requested, detailed information about each function’s stack usage
|
||
|
|
and calls will be given.

These take the form <code>__stack_<function_name></code> for global
|

|
|
functions, and <code>__stack_<number>_<function_name></code> for static

|
functions. <code><number></code> is the section id in hex. The value of
|

|
such symbols is the stack requirement for the corresponding function.
|

|
The symbol size will be zero, type <code>STT_NOTYPE</code>, binding
|

|
<code>STB_LOCAL</code>, and section <code>SHN_ABS</code>.
