<p>Syntax:</p>

<p>Supported COMDAT types:</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">discard</span></tt></dt>
<dd>Discards duplicate sections with the same COMDAT symbol. This is the default

<dd>If the symbol is defined multiple times, the linker issues an error.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">same_size</span></tt></dt>
<dd>Duplicates are discarded, but the linker issues an error if any have
different sizes.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">same_contents</span></tt></dt>
<dd>Duplicates are discarded, but the linker issues an error if any duplicates
do not have exactly the same content.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">largest</span></tt></dt>
<dd>Links the largest section from among the duplicates.</dd>

<h4><a class="toc-backref" href="#id8"><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.section</span></tt> Directive</a><a class="headerlink" href="#section-directive" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h4>
<p>MC supports passing the information in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.linkonce</span></tt> at the end of
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.section</span></tt>. For example,  these two codes are equivalent</p>
<div class="highlight-gas"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="na">.section</span> <span class="no">secName</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">&quot;dr&quot;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="no">discard</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">&quot;Symbol1&quot;</span>

<span class="nl">Symbol1:</span>
<span class="na">.long</span> <span class="mi">1</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<div class="highlight-gas"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="na">.section</span> <span class="no">secName</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">&quot;dr&quot;</span>
<span class="na">.linkonce</span> <span class="no">discard</span>
<span class="na">.globl</span> <span class="no">Symbol1</span>
<span class="nl">Symbol1:</span>
<span class="na">.long</span> <span class="mi">1</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Note that in the combined form the COMDAT symbol is explicit. This
extension exists to support multiple sections with the same name in
different COMDATs:</p>
<div class="highlight-gas"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="na">.section</span> <span class="no">secName</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">&quot;dr&quot;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="no">discard</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">&quot;Symbol1&quot;</span>
<span class="na">.globl</span> <span class="no">Symbol1</span>
<span class="nl">Symbol1:</span>
<span class="na">.long</span> <span class="mi">1</span>

<span class="na">.section</span> <span class="no">secName</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">&quot;dr&quot;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="no">discard</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">&quot;Symbol2&quot;</span>
<span class="na">.globl</span> <span class="no">Symbol2</span>
<span class="nl">Symbol2:</span>
<span class="na">.long</span> <span class="mi">1</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>In addition to the types allowed with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.linkonce</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.section</span></tt> also accepts
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">associative</span></tt>. The meaning is that the section is linked  if a certain other
COMDAT section is linked. This other section is indicated by the comdat symbol
in this directive. It can be any symbol defined in the associated section, but
is usually the associated section&#8217;s comdat.</p>
<blockquote>
<div><p>The following restrictions apply to the associated section:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>It must be a COMDAT section.</li>
<li>It cannot be another associative COMDAT section.</li>
</ol>
</div></blockquote>
<p>In the following example the symobl <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">sym</span></tt> is the comdat symbol of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.foo</span></tt>
and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.bar</span></tt> is associated to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.foo</span></tt>.</p>
<div class="highlight-gas"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="na">.section</span>        <span class="no">.foo</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="s">&quot;bw&quot;</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="no">discard</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">&quot;sym&quot;</span>
<span class="na">.section</span>        <span class="no">.bar</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="s">&quot;rd&quot;</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="no">associative</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">&quot;sym&quot;</span>

<div class="section" id="stack-probe-emission">
<h4><a class="toc-backref" href="#id11">Stack Probe Emission</a><a class="headerlink" href="#stack-probe-emission" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h4>
<p>The reference implementation (Microsoft Visual Studio 2012) emits stack probes
in the following fashion:</p>
<div class="highlight-gas"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="nf">movw</span> <span class="no">r4</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="c">#constant</span>
<span class="nf">bl</span> <span class="no">__chkstk</span>
<span class="nf">sub.w</span> <span class="no">sp</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="no">sp</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="no">r4</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>However, this has the limitation of 32 MiB (±16MiB).  In order to accommodate
larger binaries, LLVM supports the use of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-mcode-model=large</span></tt> to allow a 4GiB
range via a slight deviation.  It will generate an indirect jump as follows:</p>
<div class="highlight-gas"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="nf">movw</span> <span class="no">r4</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="c">#constant</span>
<span class="nf">movw</span> <span class="no">r12</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="p">:</span><span class="no">lower16</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="no">__chkstk</span>
<span class="nf">movt</span> <span class="no">r12</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="p">:</span><span class="no">upper16</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="no">__chkstk</span>

<div class="section" id="variable-length-arrays">
<h4><a class="toc-backref" href="#id12">Variable Length Arrays</a><a class="headerlink" href="#variable-length-arrays" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h4>
<p>The reference implementation (Microsoft Visual Studio 2012) does not permit the
emission of Variable Length Arrays (VLAs).</p>
<p>The Windows ARM Itanium ABI extends the base ABI by adding support for emitting
a dynamic stack allocation.  When emitting a variable stack allocation, a call
to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">__chkstk</span></tt> is emitted unconditionally to ensure that guard pages are setup
properly.  The emission of this stack probe emission is handled similar to the
standard stack probe emission.</p>
<p>The MSVC environment does not emit code for VLAs currently.</p>
