I'm doing some development using Mbed Studio and after linking I see this sort of output:
Elf2Bin: test-sp2

Total Static RAM memory (data + bss): 60569(+40) bytes
Total Flash memory (text + data): 146006(+1873) bytes
I understand what this output means, mostly.
But what do the (+xxx) next to the byte counts mean?
For example, in
| mbed-os\connectivity | 70226(+140) | 295(+0) | 45532(+40) |
What does the (+140) in the .text section mean? Could it be the change in size from the last link?
Could it be the change in size from the last link?
Yes.
