Partial Linking in ARM linker

Hi Aby,

I stumbled upon this very old question - sorry that there was no reply at the time. I hope at least a reply now will help if others have the same query.

Essentially partial linking is the grouping together of multiple object files into a single larger object file. This is often done for purposes of grouping together code related to a specific part of your code base, sometimes just for convenience, sometimes perhaps to obfuscate how the code is structured... potentially useful if then sending this code on to a third party. It is similar in concept, but different in structure, to creating a library (with the armar utility) of the same objects.

Regards,

Ronan
