GCC options: -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections

C code:

 

struct person {
	int age;
	int no;
};

int plus_one(int no)
{
	return no + 1;
}

int minus_one(int no)
{
	return no - 1;
}

 

Run 'gcc -S -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections' produce:

 

	.file	"sec.c"
	.section	.text.plus_one,"ax",@progbits
.globl plus_one
	.type	plus_one, @function
