bankpack settings
bankalloc [options] objfile1 objfile2 etc
Use: Read .o files and auto-assign areas with bank=255.
Typically called by Lcc compiler driver before linker.
Options
-h : Show this help
-lkin=<file> : Load object files specified in linker file <file>
-lkout=<file> : Write list of object files out to linker file <file>
-yt<mbctype> : Set MBC type per ROM byte 149 in Decimal or Hex (0xNN)
([see pandocs](https://gbdev.io/pandocs/The_Cartridge_Header.html#0147---cartridge-type))
-mbc=N : Similar to -yt, but sets MBC type directly to N instead
of by intepreting ROM byte 149
mbc1 will exclude banks {0x20,0x40,0x60} max=127,
mbc2 max=15, mbc3 max=127, mbc5 max=255 (not 511!)
-min=N : Min assigned ROM bank is N (default 1)
-max=N : Max assigned ROM bank is N, error if exceeded
-ext=<.ext> : Write files out with <.ext> instead of source extension
-path=<path> : Write files out to <path> (<path> *MUST* already exist)
-sym=<prefix> : Add symbols starting with <prefix> to match + update list.
Default entry is "___bank_" (see below)
-cartsize : Print min required cart size as "autocartsize:<NNN>"
-plat=<plat> : Select platform specific behavior (default:gb) (gb,sms)
-random : Distribute banks randomly for testing (honors -min/-max)
-reserve=<b:n>: Reserve N bytes (hex) in bank B (decimal)
Ex: -reserve=105:30F reserves 0x30F bytes in bank 105
-v : Verbose output, show assignments
Example: "bankpack -ext=.rel -path=some/newpath/ file1.o file2.o"
Unless -ext or -path specify otherwise, input files are overwritten.
Default MBC type is not set. It *must* be specified by -mbc= or -yt!
The following will have FF and 255 replaced with the assigned bank:
A _CODE_255 size <size> flags <flags> addr <address>
S b_<function name> Def0000FF
S ___bank_<const name> Def0000FF
(Above can be made by: const void __at(255) __bank_<const name>;
