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...
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...
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.
