Syntax

‑‑bounds_table_size records[:buckets]|(bytes)

Parameters

For use with

The linker.

Description

Use this linker option to specify the size of the global bounds table, which is used for tracking the bounds of pointers in memory.

You can specify the number of records in the table (the number of pointers it can keep bounds for). If you do, you can also specify the number of buckets (a power of two), which will affect the speed of lookups. If not specified, the number of buckets is a power of two that is at least 6 times the number of records.

Alternatively, you can specify the total number of bytes to use for records and buckets.
