Code size generation

Hi all,

I´m developing an application in Keil uVision with STM32L052C that is a uC that has 32KB of flash memory.

I add my ST libraries and per example STM32L0xx_hal_uart.c. This library uses some features with DMA but i will not use this.

 

Looking to compilation size I´ve notized that I could have Flash size problems, so my question is, how is the best way to delete this DMA functions. in all libraries?

Maybe there is an option in project propierties that avoids/removes unused functions from the image created.

Let see the .map file

       560                         22         44         12       208    6075   uart.o

I have to put stm32l0xx_hal_dma.c to avoid compiling error using the others libraries that use DMA functions,

How can I avoid this piece of code?? Compiling switches modifying ST libraries?? Or with some compiler/project settings that dont waste size if I dont use unnused functions??

Should have natural dead code elimination at an object level. Make sure ''One ELF Section per Function'' is checked under C/C++ options tab.
