Linker Warning and Error Messages

Linker messages are written to the VisualDSP++ Output window
(standard output when the linker is run from a command line). Messages
describe problems the linker encountered while processing the
Warnings indicate processing errors that do not prevent the linker from
producing a valid output file, such as unused symbols in your code. Errors
are issued when the linker encounters situations that prevent the produc-
tion of a valid output file.
Typically, these messages include the name of the
ber containing the message, a six-character code, and a brief description of
the condition.
Example
>linker -T nofile.ldf
[Error li1002]
Linker finished with 1 error(s) 0 warning(s)
Interpreting Linker Messages
Within VisualDSP++, the Output window's Build tab displays project
build status and error messages. In most cases, double-click a message dis-
plays the line in the source file causing the problem. You can access
descriptions of linker messages from VisualDSP++ online Help by select-
ing a six-character code (for example,
Some build errors, such as a reference to an undefined symbol, do not cor-
relate directly to source files. These errors often stem from omissions in
the file.

For example, if an input section from the object file is not placed by the
. file, a cross-reference error occurs at every object that refers to labels
