================ Comment at: clang/include/clang/Basic/AttrDocs.td:98 +This support is available in GNU ``ld`` and ``gold`` as of binutils 2.36, as +well as in ``ld.lld`` 13. + }]; ---------------- As a user, this seems like a complicated thing to figure out. Also it seems to understate the case; if you have a linker that does understand SHF_GNU_RETAIN, then you *have* to use attribute `retain` to get the effect you want; otherwise your code breaks, probably silently. And it looks like if you happen to combine an older compiler with a new-enough linker, you can never get it to do what you want. I hope I'm wrong about these things, but that's what the docs suggest.
