Syntax: /PADC[ODE][:padsize]
The /PADC option adds filler bytes to the end of each code segment
for subsequent linking with ILINK. Use /PADC only with the /INCR
option. You can also specify the /PADD option to add padding to
data segments.
See: ◄/INCR Option►
◄/PADD Option►
Specify <padsize> in decimal format or C-language notation. The
default is 0 bytes. Padding is added once for each contribution to
a segment; multiple pads can appear in one segment. The total size
of padding plus physical segment cannot exceed 64K.
See: ◄Entering Numeric Arguments►
LINK recognizes segment definitions with class names that end in
CODE as code segments. Microsoft high-level languages
automatically use this declaration for code segments.
Code padding is not usually necessary for programs with multiple
code segments. It is recommended for mixed-model programs,
programs with one code segment, and assembly-language programs in
which code segments are grouped.
