PADDING execution regions

Note: This was originally posted on 24th February 2010 at http://forums.arm.com

Dear All,

I am looking for RVDS 2.2 arm linker option where I can pad the execution region with 0xFF's so that the size of the execution region is aligned to 4KB.

I have tried to use

EXEC 0x2000 PADVALUE 0xFFFFFFFFFF 0x1000
{
x.ptl(RO);
}

But the unused EXEC region is not padded with 0xFF's in the output image.

The PADVAULE option specifies what value to use for padding - it does not cause more padding to be added.

So if all the input sections are removed by the linker (by redundanct section elimination), the execution region will be empty.

What are you trying to achieve?
