[tools-compilers] Automagically sorting functions+data per usage ?

Hi! Does Sun Studio/Forte/Workshop have an option to sort functions+data automagically that related functions+read-only data are kept close together, maybe share the same memory page (the idea would be to reduce the number of ITLB+DTLB page faults), preferably without the need to hack a map

Hi I'm not 100% certain exactly how applicable this is to the Sun tools, but I suspect that it does apply. In general, when linking an app to object files (standalone or in a static library) then the linker will normally either link the entire .o if any symbol is used, or not link it if nothin
