--ld-path= complements and overrides -fuse-ld={bfd,gold,lld}. If in the
future, we want to make dfferent linker option decisions we can let
-fuse-ld= represent the linker flavor and --ld-path= the linker path.
Hello.
I have just few nits:
=== ERROR type #3: trailing operator (1 error(s)) ===
gcc/collect2.c:1155:14: ld_file_name =
PR driver/93645
* common.opt (--ld-path=): Add --ld-path=
* opts.c (common_handle_option): Handle OPT__ld_path_.
* gcc.c (driver_handle_option): Likewise.
* collect2.c (main): Likewise.
* doc/invoke.texi: Document --ld-path=.
---
Changes in v2:
* Renamed -fld-path= to --ld-path= (clang 12.0.0 new option).
The option does not affect code generation and is not a language feature,
-f* is not suitable. Additionally, clang has other similar --*-path=
options, e.g. --cuda-path=.
