I have set the -mshort-calls flag which is documented to replace the 4 byte long CALL instruction with the 2 byte long RCALL instruction when possible to save flash space and and cycles...



enter image description here



Unfortunately the compiler is still using full CALL instructions even for a call that is only 2 bytes away...



 ...
35f6: 0e 94 fd 1a call 0x35fa ; 0x35fa
35fa: f8 94 cli
...


What am I doing wrong?

          It appears that this option changed at some point and not all the documentation was updated. Atmel Studio also still uses the obsolete flag.



          The new option is called -mrelax on the compiler command line or --relax on the linker command line...



          https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.9.2/gcc/AVR-Options.html



          After adding that flag, the above code compiled to...



          ...
          3584: 00 d0 rcall .+0 ; 0x3586
          3586: f8 94 cli
          ...


          If you happened to be using Atmel Studio, I put the flag here...



          enter image description here



          In my case, this change resulted in significant flash savings. If you are here because you also need to save flash space and/or cycles, I'd also recommend looking into enabling Link Time Optimization which also offers great savings at no cost.
