This causes havoc if the objects are in .a archives (dtrace can't read those) or if the objects need to be linked into multiple binaries. It also destroys the ability to do an incremental build, as dtrace -G can't be run on the same object twice. The whole process is really a hack. The build actions done by dtrace should be done by the compiler and linker instead. Getting the linker to support the process would go a long way, as then dtrace -G could be run on individual objects and most of my complaints go away. _______________________________________________ freebsd-gecko@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-gecko To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-gecko-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
