--- Comment #7 from curaga at operamail dot com --- That's why this is an enhancement request :) I'd like to see that sophistication added to the linker. This is needed separately from LTO for various reasons: - use with older compilers that do not support LTO - use with projects so big that LTO cannot be used (Firefox, Webkit) because of prohibiting RAM requirements - use with projects that need fast compilation, but small binaries. LTO comes with a severe compile time hit - use with projects that are buggy with LTO It's completely feasible without LTO and would benefit many cases. LTO is problematic in some cases, slow, and RAM-hungry, whereas gc-sections has not failed me once, and is quite fast and light on RAM in comparison. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
