| <a name="index-_002d_002dno_002doverlays"></a> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><samp>--no-overlays</samp></dt> |
| <dd><p>Normally, <code>ld</code> recognizes calls to functions within overlay |
| regions, and redirects such calls to an overlay manager via a stub. |
| <code>ld</code> also provides a built-in overlay manager. This option |
| turns off all this special overlay handling. |

| <a name="index-_002d_002demit_002dstub_002dsyms-2"></a> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><samp>--emit-stub-syms</samp></dt> |
| <dd><p>This option causes <code>ld</code> to label overlay stubs with a local |
| symbol that encodes the stub type and destination. |
| </p> |
| <a name="index-SPU-extra-overlay-stubs"></a> |
| <a name="index-_002d_002dextra_002doverlay_002dstubs"></a> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><samp>--extra-overlay-stubs</samp></dt> |
| <dd><p>This option causes <code>ld</code> to add overlay call stubs on all |
| function calls out of overlay regions. Normally stubs are not added |
| on calls to non-overlay regions. |
| </p> |
| <a name="index-SPU-local-store-size"></a> |

| </dd> |
| <dt><samp>--local-store=lo:hi</samp></dt> |
| <dd><p><code>ld</code> usually checks that a final executable for SPU fits in |
| the address range 0 to 256k. This option may be used to change the |
| range. Disable the check entirely with <samp>--local-store=0:0</samp>. |

| <a name="index-_002d_002dstack_002danalysis"></a> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><samp>--stack-analysis</samp></dt> |
| <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. |

| </dd> |
| <dt><samp>--emit-stack-syms</samp></dt> |
| <dd><p>This option, if given along with <samp>--stack-analysis</samp> will result |
| in <code>ld</code> emitting stack sizing symbols for each function. |
| 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>. |
