| NOP Instruction Removal

| TIGCC Linker Binary Code Fixup | Next

The TIGCC linker features the removal of unnecessary NOP instructions. For file formats which may insert a NOP (No OPeration) instruction at the end of a section in order to align its size to a specific boundary, it can remove this instruction to save a little space. Currently only the AmigaOS format is known to do this (see TIGCC Linker File Formats). If the section ends with more than one NOP instruction, all instructions are kept.
