Bug ID: 24526
Summary: Generalize GC support for SHF_LINK_ORDER
Product: binutils
Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: gold
Assignee: ccoutant at gmail dot com
Reporter: maskray at google dot com
CC: ian at airs dot com
Target Milestone: ---
There was a discussion
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/generic-abi/_CbBM6T6WeM/9nNnwRNHAQAJ to extend
the semantics of SHF_LINK_ORDER to represent metadata sections. All parties
were in favor of the the wording:
... Furthermore, relocations from this section into the referenced section
should not be taken as evidence that the referenced section should be retained.
The patch https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2017-04/msg00000.html was posted,
but doesn't seem to have been applied yet.
Projects thay may benefit from it:
