visibility of functions names in Library

rbatra5

Hi, I made a library. when i build executable using library, the map file created shows all functions/variables of library.

Can i strip the library, so that only functions used by executable are visible in map file ?

or when i build library, i can somehow achieve the same by some settings ?

thanks in advance for your time.

regards,
-rajan batra

    I have 7 Libraries ( for 7 banks ),

    No, you don't. Because there's no such thing as a "Library for a bank". Banking has nothing to do with libraries.

    That means that most likely what you think of as a "library" is in fact something else entirely, and we really should all take a couple steps back and figure out what the words you're using actually mean. So: what exactly is that think you're calling a "library"? How did you create it, and how do you plan on using it?

    Hi Hans-Bernhard Broeker, Westonsupermare Pier

    my code consumes 7 banks + common bank. There is one bank left. I have arranged
    code such that, each bank has inter-related functionalities. this is to avoid much
    of bank switching code at run time.

    I have to make object files out of my code and make it available for anyone making
    an executable. executable will use code functions via set of defined APIs.

    I directly make .LIB for each bank code. This gives me common.LIB, BANK0.LIB, BANK1.LIB,
    BANK2.LIB, BANK3.LIB, BANK4.LIB,BANK5.LIB and BANK6.LIB.

    www.keil.com/.../uv4_ca_createlibraryfile.htm

    This i call as library. Main function executable will go in bank7 and it will link these .LIB.

    Hi Pier, Since i am having 7 .LIB files to be linked in to executable, MAP
    file created by linker will contain all functions/variables referred between 7 .LIB

    As per your suggestion, i will have to make one single .LIB for final linking.
    Size of this One .LIB will be greater then single bank size. so in final linking,using keil,
    i will get warning of .LIB being greater then bank.

    I am using LX51, LX51 creates single HEX format executable as output. Currently i split it into 8 banks before flashing.

    If i could build final executable without assigning .LIB to any bank, i can build my code into
    one big .LIB .

    so the question is

    is it possible to build program in KEIL without assigning bank to .LIB.
