Curiosity Question: .rom vs .bin binaries

[andrewec]

Hi,

When you compile a prrogram with zcc, it produces both a .rom and .bin file. Is there any difference between the two files? I noticed their file sizes differ a tiny bit when compiled in Windows.

Thanks, Andrew

The bin file just contains the code. The rom file also has the data section inserted at the appropriate place.

If you’re not using any statics the difference in file size will be minimal.

Thanks Dom.
