Assembler and linker script

[TRon]

Hi,

A while ago i've read on this forum that there isn't really a syntax check available. Someone suggested a clever workaround for that by passing the commandline option -s to the compiler.

The documentation on that switch states:
"Do not call assembler and linker"

However, it does still generate a assembler/linker script.

Is that even necessary when assembling and linking is omitted ?

Well, that option is primarily meant to inspect and/or modify those scripts, and then assemble/link. So yes, that is necessary.

@marcov:
Thank you, as i did not know/understood that was the intention behind the option.
