Bug ID: 22451 Summary: strip no longer works on older object files Product: binutils Version: 2.30 (HEAD) Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: binutils Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org Reporter: hjl.tools at gmail dot com CC: amodra at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 10610 --> https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=10610&action=edit A testcase Since: commit db4677b8bd90b49f826807352c6c3c7eb0d57814 Author: Alan Modra <amo...@gmail.com> Date: Wed Oct 4 09:53:53 2017 +1030 PR21167, relocation sections not included in groups This fixes a wart I've known about for years, but haven't done anything about because BFD treats relocation sections as an adjunct to the section they relocate. SHF_GROUP on the section thus implicitly applies to its relocation section(s), but it is an error that the reloc sections aren't part of the group. on older object files, we get [hjl@gnu-tools-1 tmp]$ /export/build/gnu/binutils/build-x86_64-linux/binutils/strip-new -g vterminate.o /export/build/gnu/binutils/build-x86_64-linux/binutils/strip-new: vterminate.o: no group info for section '.data.DW.ref._ZTISt9exception' /export/build/gnu/binutils/build-x86_64-linux/binutils/strip-new: vterminate.o: no group info for section '.data.DW.ref._ZTISt9exception' /export/build/gnu/binutils/build-x86_64-linux/binutils/strip-new:vterminate.o: Bad value [hjl@gnu-tools-1 tmp]$ -- 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
