I downloaded the newer version of the demo RealView Compiler (3.23) and suddenly whenever I compile a program for my LPC2103 it adds 16 KB of read only data. No matter how small and simple the program is.
It looks like they increased the debug limit from 16KB to 32KB also. That makes me think they are aware that programs are now going to be 16KB larger so they needed to expand the limits of the demo. But does anyone know why it would be using the space.
It looks like a total waste. In the map file it says that it is all (incl. padding) RO-data. Which makes me think its just empty padding. Is there some option I'm missing? Or some checkbox to check to turn off this 16KB of empty space, or some reason for it to be appearing?
I'm at a complete loss.
