Hi,
Can anybody comment on LTO or WPO’s effect on optimizing for space - I have
run out of flash memory and would rather not refactor my code at the moment. I
only need 10 more bytes or so, for today at least... Yes it’s not ideal, such
is life.
I am using mspgcc 20120406-p20120911 and when I pass `–flto` in both the
compilation and link stages it compiles fine but the linker complains
“unrecognized option '-plugin'”. I assume LTO isn’t supported at this time?
So then I skipped intermediate .o files altogether and used the following
command:
msp430-gcc -mmcu=msp430f233 -Os -Wall -Werror -o Coyote.elf <all c files>
I get the expected message that my code does not fit.
Using –fwhole-program:
msp430-gcc -mmcu=msp430f233 -Os -Wall -Werror -fwhole-program -o Coyote.elf
<all c files>
I get the following output:
C:\Users\WAYNEU~1\AppData\Local\Temp\cclYmoCC.o: In function `main':
main.c:(.init9+0x2): undefined reference to `systemDisableInterrupts'

main.c:(.init9+0x138): undefined reference to `infomemValidate'
main.c:(.init9+0x13c): undefined reference to `logicMainLoop'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I then created two files, test1.c and test2.c
test1.c:
-------------------------------
void test2(void);
void test1(void)
{
test2();
}
int main()
{
test2();
return 0;
}
-------------------------------
test2.c:
-------------------------------
void test1(void);
void test2(void)
{
test1();
}
-------------------------------
Compiling them:
msp430-gcc -mmcu=msp430f233 -Os -Wall -Werror -fwhole-program -o test.elf
test1.c test2.c
C:\Users\WAYNEU~1\AppData\Local\Temp\ccs3TYlw.o: In function `main':
test1.c:(.init9+0x2): undefined reference to `test2'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Have I done something wrong?
In the meantime, I will refactor. I don’t even expect WPO/LTO to give me much
of a space saving anyway.
