# stm8-binutils-gdb
|
|
## Overview
|
|
This repository implements, via some patches, STM8 support for the GNU binutils package.
|
|
It has been forked from https://stm8-binutils-gdb.sourceforge.io/ in order to add support
|
|
for unused code elimination at link-time via `--gc-sections`. On the other hand, new relocation
|
|
opcodes `hi8()`, `lo8()` and `hh8()` have been implemented for the STM8 port of GNU `as`.
|
|
|
|
This is meant to be used with a fork of SDCC I created which generates GNU `as`-compatible assembly
|
|
files via the new `--gas`, `--function-sections` and `--data-sections` switches. These changes have not been integrated into SDCC's main branch, so you
|
|
can find them at https://github.com/XaviDCR92/sdcc-gas .
|
|
## Usage
|
|
```
|
|
./patch_binutils.sh
|
|
./configure_binutils.sh
|
|
cd binutils-2.30/
|
|
make
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
## Examples
|
|
You can find a small working code example of the new capabilities provided by this fork at
|
|
https://github.com/XaviDCR92/stm8-dce-example .

## Thanks
|
|
Thanks to **arehnman**, who created the original package and helped me out **a lot** to get this working.
|
|
Also, thanks to the SDCC developers to their hard work in providing an interesting alternative to
|
|
existing STM8 propietary compilers.
