Functions that are near (within a radius of 32 Kwords of each other) may call each other
more efficiently that those which are not. If it is known that all functions in an application
are near, then the default -msmall-code command line option can be used when
compiling each module to direct the compiler to use a more efficient form of the function
call.
If this default option is not suitable, then the following alternatives are available:

The -msmall-code command-line option differs from the -msmall-data
command-line option in that in the former case, the compiler does nothing special to
ensure that functions are allocated near one another, whereas in the latter case, the
compiler will allocate variables in a special section.
The linker will produce an error message if the function declared to be near cannot be
reached by one of its callers using a more efficient form of the function call.
-mlarge-data or -mlarge-scalar command line options. In this case, only
the variables used by those modules will be allocated in the far data section. If
this alternative is used, then care must be taken when using externally defined
variables. If a variable that is used by modules compiled using one of these
options is defined externally, then the module in which it is defined must also be
compiled using the same option, or the variable declaration and definition must
be tagged with the far attribute.

tagging it with the near attribute.
variables may be placed in the far data section by tagging them with the far
attribute.
