+@cindex calling functions through the function vector on H8/300, M16C, M32C and SH2A processors
Use this attribute on the H8/300, H8/300H, and H8S to indicate that the specified
function should be called through the function vector. Calling a
function through the function vector will reduce code size, however;
the function vector has a limited size (maximum 128 entries on the H8/300
and 64 entries on the H8/300H and H8S) and shares space with the interrupt vector.
+In SH2A target, this attribute declares a function to be called using the
+TBR relative addressing mode. The argument to this attribute is the entry
+number of the same function in a vector table containing all the TBR
+relative addressable functions. For the successful jump, register TBR
+should contain the start address of this TBR relative vector table.
+In the startup routine of the user application, user needs to care of this
+TBR register initialization. The TBR relative vector table can have at
+max 256 function entries. The jumps to these functions will be generated
+using a SH2A specific, non delayed branch instruction JSR/N @@(disp8,TBR).

this attribute to work correctly.
