Bug ID: 20824 Summary: enable warn-shared-textrel by default Product: binutils Version: 2.28 (HEAD) Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: ld Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org Reporter: ma.jiang at zte dot com.cn Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 9636 --> https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=9636&action=edit enable warn-shared-textrel by default In gnu-ld, warn-shared-textrel is disabled by default. Why not to enable it by default? One of our customers found that he did not have enough memory to run his application after a recompilation. The root cause turn out to be a silly mistake that he forgot to add "-fPIC" for his shared libraries. Yes yes, the one who make mistakes got to pay the price, it's very reasonable. But there were no warning at all, a normal user(not a expert) probably did not know what was wrong (and how to fix). This does not seem reasonable... Although some arches(like x86-64) force all shared libraries to be PIC, there are some that does not. In my opinion, the linker should be a good place to make the warnings. So, warn-shared-textrel should be enable by default. attached patch enable "warn-shared-textrel" and add a new option to close this warning, is that ok? -- 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
