Is each function within module assigned to 1 segment in .lin file ?

Jimmy liao

I have one question about the following in .lin file:
* .lin means linker command file

--------------
RAMSIZE(256)
XDATA(...)

Code (
...
?PR?*?A
?PR?A
?PR?main?A
...
)
--------------


A is module name.

Q1: I found "not" every function in module A is assigned to 1 segment in .lin file. Is it correct ?

Q2: I think code ?PR?*?A has covered all the functions in module A. But why other 2 appear ? Can I mark them ?

    1. In Keil C guide it said:
    Each function in a source module is assigned a separate code segment using the ?PR?function_name?module_name naming convention.

    Ex. ?PR?ERROR_CHECK?SAMPLE

    This is the reason why I said "assigned to 1"

    2. "other 2 appear" means:
    if ?PR?*?A means "all functions" within A.c, then:

    why do we still need the following 2 code segments in .lin:

    ?PR?A
    ?PR?main?A
