-The @var{origin} is an expression for the start address of the memory
-region. The expression must evaluate to a constant before memory
-allocation is performed, which means that you may not use any section
-relative symbols. The keyword @code{ORIGIN} may be abbreviated to
-@code{org} or @code{o} (but not, for example, @code{ORG}).
+The @var{origin} is an numerical expression for the start address of

The @var{len} is an expression for the size in bytes of the memory

-evaluate to a constant before memory allocation is performed. The
-keyword @code{LENGTH} may be abbreviated to @code{len} or @code{l}.
+be numerical only and must evaluate to a constant. The keyword
+@code{LENGTH} may be abbreviated to @code{len} or @code{l}.
In the following example, we specify that there are two memory regions
available for allocation: one starting at @samp{0} for 256 kilobytes,
output sections directed to a memory region are too large for the
region, the linker will issue an error message.
+It is possible to access the origin and length of a memory in an
+expression via the @code{ORIGIN(@var{memory})} and
+@code{LENGTH(@var{memory})} functions:
+
+@smallexample
+@group
+ _fstack = ORIGIN(ram) + LENGTH(ram) - 4;
+@end group
+@end smallexample
+
@node PHDRS
@section PHDRS Command
@kindex PHDRS
@end group
@end smallexample
+@item LENGTH(@var{memory})
+@kindex LENGTH(@var{memory})
+Return the length of the memory region named @var{memory}.
+
@item LOADADDR(@var{section})
@kindex LOADADDR(@var{section})
@cindex section load address in expression
use the @code{MEMORY} command to define discontinuous memory for the
output file, the two functions are equivalent.
+@item ORIGIN(@var{memory})
+@kindex ORIGIN(@var{memory})
+Return the origin of the memory region named @var{memory}.
+
+@item SEGMENT_START(@var{segment}, @var{default})
+@kindex SEGMENT_START(@var{segment}, @var{default})
+Return the base address of the named @var{segment}. If an explicit
+value has been given for this segment (with a command-line @samp{-T}
+option) that value will be returned; otherwise the value will be
+@var{default}. At present, the @samp{-T} command-line option can only
+be used to set the base address for the ``text'', ``data'', and
+``bss'' sections, but you use @code{SEGMENT_START} with any segment
+name.
