8.4.13 Set Default Fill Value (--fill_value Option)

The --fill_value option fills the holes formed within output sections. The syntax for the option is:

--fill_value=value

The argument value is a 32-bit constant (up to eight hexadecimal digits). If you do not use --fill_value, the linker uses 0 as the default fill value.

This example fills holes with the hexadecimal value ABCDABCD:

cl6x --run_linker --fill_value=0xABCDABCD file1.obj file2.obj
