--- Comment #5 from winter-...@bfw-online.de --- > Yes, one dash or two makes a difference. Using single-dash arguments can then be considered pretty dangerous in ld since any small typo (or using a parameter that might only exist in some other ld version) in the argument results in ld looking for single letter arguments (even in concatenation) which it almost always find. $ ld -nostdlib # correct $ ld -nostdllib # incorrect, results in -n -o stdllib Much safer is double dash: $ ld --nostdlib # correct $ ld --nostdllib ld: unrecognized option '--nostdllib' I figure a lot of people and application rely on single letter concatenation like this, but probably also a lot of people suffer from incorrectly applied settings without even knowing. -- 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
