3.4.25 Summary Option
The -msummary=type option selects the type of
information that is included in the summary that is displayed once the build is complete.
By default, or if the mem type is selected, a memory summary with the
total memory usage for all memory spaces is shown.
A psect summary can be shown by enabling the psect type.
This shows individual psects after they have been grouped by the linker and the memory
ranges they cover. Table 4-20 shows what summary types are available. The default output
printed corresponds to the mem setting.
SHA hashes for the generated hex file can also be shown using this option. These can be used to quickly determine if anything in the hex file has changed from a previous build.
