 		 #130517 - linker!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Rob Vassar said:
Say I set the following requirements:

1. SPI I/O routines
2. I2C I/O routines
3. CAN I/O routines
4. Serial I/O library w/autobaud

Now say that by some miracle, all those routines end up being the same size (unlikely). If I only used 1 of the routines in any given project, the "BIOS" code is 75% bigger than it needs to be.


If your linker is too stupid to prune unused code, then you need new tools!
