I've read the F manuals and I'm still no wiser... anyone know how I can
get a memory usage listing from gcc (I'm using msp430-gcc)? I've tried
-fmem-report, doesn't not do nowt.

How about the "size" command? Or you can get detailed listings with
objdump. Both of these operate on the compiled object files.

Generally you can't --- because it's not the job of gcc to decide
about memory usage. That's done by the linker. Get a map file,
and/or run 'size' or 'objdump' on the resulting files.

If you're looking for assembly listings try adding

-Wa,-ahlms=myfile.lst

to the gcc compilation command line.


If you're looking for the big picture after linking,
get a linker map by adding

-Wl,-Map=myfile.map,--cref

to the gcc command line performing the final link.

If the module cross-reference produces too much output,
use the simpler form

-Wl,-Map=myfile.map


Please do not put any extra spaces in the switches or
they will be misunderstood by the toolchain.

I use: gcc -gstabs+ -Wa,-ahldn -c | less

possibly with -Os, -O1, -O2 or -O3. The output can be redirected
to a file if you want to keep it around.

Thanks everyone. There seem to be more switches vavailable that there

Get the GNU assembler and linker documentation for these switches:

The gcc -Wa option passes the rest of the option
to the assembler (as or gas).

The same applies to the -Wl option, but the rest
is passed to the linker (ld).
