--- Comment #6 from cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The binutils-2_35-branch branch has been updated by Maciej W. Rozycki <ma...@sourceware.org>: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=fa3b131151d42e1284a447add8c0535ac92ec6e1 commit fa3b131151d42e1284a447add8c0535ac92ec6e1 Author: Maciej W. Rozycki <ma...@wdc.com> Date: Thu Jul 23 20:24:58 2020 +0100 PR ld/26288: Allow the use of `--just-symbols' with ET_EXEC input Fix a regression from commit a87e1817a435 ("Have the linker fail if any attempt to link in an executable is made.") and do not reject ET_EXEC input supplied with the `--just-symbols' option. Such use is legitimate as the file requested is not actually linked and only the symbols are extracted. Furthermore it is often the most useful application, as already observed in our documentation for the option, where it allows "to refer symbolically to absolute locations of memory defined in other programs." Provide a set of tests for the use of ET_EXEC with `--just-symbols'. These are excluded however for SH/PE targets because they complain if a section's VMA is 0: ld: zero vma section reloc detected: `.text' #0 f=32795 ld: zero vma section reloc detected: `.data' #1 f=291 and for x86_64/PE targets because they seem to hardwire the VMA: 100000000 12000000 01000000 00000000 00000000 ................ ld/ PR ld/26288 * ldelf.c (ldelf_after_open): Do not reject ET_EXEC input supplied with `--just-symbols'. * testsuite/ld-misc/just-symbols.exp: New test script. * testsuite/ld-misc/just-symbols-1.dd: New test dump. * testsuite/ld-misc/just-symbols.ld: New test linker script. * testsuite/ld-misc/just-symbols-0.s: New test source. * testsuite/ld-misc/just-symbols-1.s: New test source.
