ld and the H8/300
For the H8/300, ld can perform these global optimizations when you specify the ‘-relax’ command-line option.
relaxing address modes
ld finds all jsr and jmp instructions whose targets are within eight bits, and turns them into
eight-bit program-counter relative bsr and bra instructions, respectively.
synthesizing instructions
ld finds all mov.b instructions which use the sixteen-bit absolute address form, but refer to
the top page of memory, and changes them to use the eight-bit address form. (That
is, the linker turns ‘mov.b @ aa:16’ into ‘mov.b @ aa:8’ whenever the address aa is in the top page of memory).
