pool_strings

Controls how string literals are stored.

Syntax
  #pragma pool_strings on | off | reset  
Remarks

If you enable this pragma, the compiler collects all string constants into a single data object so your program needs one data section for all of them. If you disable this pragma, the compiler creates a unique data object for each string constant. While this decreases the number of data sections in your program, on some processors it also makes your program bigger because it uses a less efficient method to store the address of the string.

This pragma is especially useful if your program is large and has many string constants or uses the CodeWarrior Profiler.

Note: If you enable this pragma, the compiler ignores the setting of the pcrelstrings pragma.
