This flag allows specifying the threshold size for placing static data in large data sections when using the medium code model on x86-64. When using -Ccode-model=medium, data smaller than this threshold uses RIP-relative addressing (32-bit offsets), while larger data uses absolute 64-bit addressing. This allows the compiler to generate more efficient code for smaller data while still supporting data larger than 2GB. This mirrors the -mlarge-data-threshold flag available in GCC and Clang. The default threshold is 65536 bytes (64KB) if not specified, matching LLVM's default behavior.
