The @var{address} is an expression for the VMA (the virtual memory

address) of the output section. This address is optional, but if it
is provided then the output address will be set exactly as specified.
If you provide @var{address}, the address of the output section will be
set to precisely that. If you provide neither @var{address} nor
@var{region}, then the address of the output section will be set to the
current value of the location counter aligned to the alignment
requirements of the output section. The alignment requirement of the
output section is the strictest alignment of any input section contained
within the output section.
If the output address is not specified then one will be chosen for the
section, based on the heuristic below. This address will be adjusted
to fit the alignment requirement of the output section. The
alignment requirement is the strictest alignment of any input section
contained within the output section.
The output section address heuristic is as follows:
@itemize @bullet
@item
If an output memory @var{region} is set for the section then it
is added to this region and its address will be the next free address
in that region.
@item
If the MEMORY command has been used to create a list of memory
regions then the first region which has attributes compatible with the
section is selected to contain it. The section's output address will
be the next free address in that region; @ref{MEMORY}.
@item
If no memory regions were specified, or none match the section then
the output address will be based on the current value of the location
counter.

For example,

@cindex load address
@cindex section load address
Every section has a virtual address (VMA) and a load address (LMA); see
@ref{Basic Script Concepts}. The address expression which may appear in
an output section description sets the VMA (@pxref{Output Section
Address}).
@ref{Basic Script Concepts}. The virtual address is specified by the
@pxref{Output Section Address} described earlier. The load address is
specified by the @code{AT} or @code{AT>} keywords. Specifying a load
address is optional.
The expression @var{lma} that follows the @code{AT} keyword specifies
the load address of the section.
Alternatively, with @samp{AT>@var{lma_region}} expression, you may
specify a memory region for the section's load address. @xref{MEMORY}.
Note that if the section has not had a VMA assigned to it then the
linker will use the @var{lma_region} as the VMA region as well.
The @code{AT} keyword takes an expression as an argument. This
specifies the exact load address of the section. The @code{AT>} keyword
takes the name of a memory region as an argument. @xref{MEMORY}. The
load address of the section is set to the next free address in the
region, aligned to the section's alignment requirements.
If neither @code{AT} nor @code{AT>} is specified for an allocatable
section, the linker will set the LMA such that the difference between
VMA and LMA for the section is the same as the preceding output
section in the same region. If there is no preceding output section
or the section is not allocatable, the linker will set the LMA equal
to the VMA.
@xref{Output Section Region}.
section, the linker will use the following heuristic to determine the
load address:
@itemize @bullet
@item
If the section has a specific VMA address, then this is used as
the LMA address as well.
@item
If the section is not allocatable then its LMA is set to its VMA.
@item
Otherwise if a memory region can be found that is compatible
with the current section, and this region contains at least one
section, then the LMA is set so the difference between the
VMA and LMA is the same as the difference between the VMA and LMA of
the last section in the located region.
@item
If no memory regions have been declared then a default region
that covers the entire address space is used in the previous step.
@item
If no suitable region could be found, or there was no previous
section then the LMA is set equal to the VMA.
