[Bug ld/7037] Dwarf offset error with -g -O2 options
--- Additional Comments From nickc at redhat dot com 2008-11-18 14:02 --- Hi Swami, Well this was a fun one to track down. The problem turned out to be the descriptions of the CR16 relocs in elf32-cr16.c. In particular they were using the src_mask field of reloc_howto_struct which should only be set for targets which use REL relocations. The result of this problem was that the contents of the .debug_info section in the object file were being relocated incorrectly, which resulted in the error message you were seeing as well as the badly formatted name for the source file that contained the undefined reference. I have uploaded a patch which fixes the reloc descriptions. With the patch applied I now get: ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 0004 test.o: In function `main': /local/user/swami/sitel/align/test.c:5: undefined reference to `one' I will be applying the patch to the source tree shortly.

--- Additional Comments From nickc at redhat dot com 2008-11-18 14:21 --- Subject: Re: 64-bit libstdc++.so fails to link on Solaris 11/SPARC: could not read symbols: Bad value Hi Rainer, I'll try. First of all, I need to understand what the warning is all about. Oh, well the progbits attribute indicates that the section contains data values, but the .bss section should in theory be completely empty and just initialized with zero bytes when the program is loaded into memory. (ie its type should be NOBITS). What is probably happening is that one or more of your input object files has a .bss section with the wrong attributes. Why that should be is currently a mystery, but first we need to locate those object files (or else demonstrate that the problem has some other cause).

[Bug ld/7031] New linker command file function: REGION_ALIAS
--- Additional Comments From nickc at redhat dot com 2009-01-06 16:36 --- Hi Sebastian, The patch looks good - thanks very much for persevering with this. In answer to your questions: * Yes stat_alloc() is the right function to use. * Quoting names like this is preferred. * You are correct, the prototype for lang_memory_region_default is redundant. * There is no separate documentation for writing testcases. But it is relatively simple to do by taking an already existing testcase (or two) and modifying them to suit your needs. So, in order to accept this patch, or rather an extended version of it, we will need: * A copyright assignment on file with the FSF for binutils contributions. * Documentation of the new feature in ld/ld.texinfo plus a one line description of it in ld/NEWS. * A testcase or two to make sure that it works, and continues to work as changes are made to the linker in the future.

[Bug binutils/9743] --stub-group-size=1 does not help when linking stage1 GCC
--- Additional Comments From nickc at redhat dot com 2009-01-21 12:29 --- Hi Laurent, Since --stub-group-size=1 is the default, it is not surprising that it made no difference. --stup-group-size=1024 tells the linker to process 1024 input sections before trying to insert a stub section, which is very unlikely to help you given that you problem is that the input sections are so large. Please could you try --stub-group-size=-1, which tells the linker to place stub sections before the sections that need them. If that does not work, please try --stub-group-size=2 which tells the linker to place stub sections both before and after input sections that need them, and to group the input sections into units of 2. If neither of those options work, you could try some larger positive values (eg 4, 8, 16) but in the end this is a heuristic to find a sweet spot to place branch stubs, not a guarantee of successful linking. Cheers Nick PS. Did you try compiling your stage 1 boostrap with -mlong-calls ? This should work around the 32Mbyte offset limit of the BL instruction by making gcc load the address of a function to be called into a register first. -- What|Removed |Added Status|NEW |WAITING http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9743 --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ___ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils

[Bug ld/9797] Simple linker script casues spurious error message
--- Additional Comments From nickc at redhat dot com 2009-02-03 16:01 --- Hi Rich, I think that a slightly more extensive rewording is needed. With the uploaded patch the text in the 'Constants' section of the linker manual now reads: As in C, the linker considers an integer beginning with `0' to be octal, and an integer beginning with `0x' or `0X' to be hexadecimal. Alternatively the linker accepts suffixes of `h' or `H' for hexadeciaml, `o' or `O' for octal, `b' or `B' for binary and `d' or `D' for decimal. Any integer value without a prefix or a suffix is considered to be decimal. In addition, you can use the suffixes `K' and `M' to scale a constant by `1024' or `1024*1024' respectively. For example, the following all refer to the same quantity: _fourk_1 = 4K; _fourk_2 = 4096; _fourk_3 = 0x1000; _fourk_4 = 1o; Note - the `K' and `M' suffixes cannot be used in conjunction with the base suffixes mentioned above. Are you happy with this ?

--- Additional Comments From nickc at redhat dot com 2009-02-03 17:43 --- Hi Francis, The uploaded patch changes the description of the --allow-shlib-undefined and --no-allow-shlib-undefined to the following: Allows or disallows undefined symbols in shared libraries. This switch is similar to `--no-undefined' except that it determines the behaviour when the undefined symbols are in a shared library rather than a regular object file. It does not affect how undefined symbols in regular object files are handled. The default behaviour is to report errors for any undefined symbols referenced in shared libraries if the linker is being used to create an executable, but to allow them if the linker is being used to create a shared library. The reasons for allowing undefined symbol references in shared libraries specified at link time are that: * A shared library specified at link time may not be the same as the one that is available at load time, so the symbol might actually be resolvable at load time. * There are some operating systems, eg BeOS and HPPA, where undefined symbols in shared libraries are normal. The BeOS kernel for example patches shared libraries at load time to select whichever function is most appropriate for the current architecture. This is used, for example, to dynamically select an appropriate memset function. Do you agree with these changes ?

--- Additional Comments From nickc at redhat dot com 2009-03-10 17:53 --- Hi Mike, The crtn.o file in your tarball is the culprit - it contains relocs that do not not refer to any symbols. Since those are the only kind of relocs in that file there is no symbol table either and this is what is confusing the BFD library. Please try the uploaded patch which should work for your tarball but maybe not for other tests. (I did not try to track down all the places where the assumption is made that relocs==symbols).

[Bug ld/9934] arm gnueabi linker often fails with FPE error while linking shared libs
--- Additional Comments From nickc at redhat dot com 2009-03-11 10:40 --- Hi Mike, running with --verbose shows no info as to why ld decided to exit(1) ... Yeah my bad. Delete the last frag of the patch to elflink.c, (the one that calls bfd_set_error) and you will get your error message back. That bit was totally bogus. There is obviously another bit of the linker that assumes that relocs==symbols. Tracking it down is not going to be easy though. *sigh*. By the way, if you omit crtn.o from the link then everything works just fine...

The eh-group tests only work on ELF targets so they should not have been run for the i686-pc-mingw32. (This has been fixed in the mainline sources).

[Bug binutils/10263] objdump does not disassemble ARM code entered with .word directives
--- Additional Comments From nickc at redhat dot com 2009-06-12 12:22 --- Subject: Re: New: objdump does not disassemble ARM code entered with .word directives Hi Mike, It used to be possible to enter instructions with .word directives and then disassemble them with objdump -d, but that no longer works. Example: mov r0, r1 .word 0xe1a1 bx lr 0: e1a1mov r0, r1 4: e1a1.word 0xe1a1 8: e12fff1ebx lr This is actually the intended behaviour. The .word directive is used to enter data not instructions and the ARM port of GAS makes a note of this by emitting a local mapping symbol. For example if you run: armv5tel-unknown-linux-gnueabi-readelf --syms test.o You will see: Symbol table '.symtab' contains 9 entries: Num:Value Size TypeBind Vis Ndx Name 0: 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT UND 1: 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT1 2: 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT3 3: 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT4 4: 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT1 $a 5: 0004 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT1 $d 6: 0008 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT1 $a It is the $d symbol, entry number 5 in the symbol table, which is telling the disassemble that the word at 0x0004 is not an instruction but data and so it should not attempt to disassemble it. It would be possible to add a new pseudo-op, say .insn, to insert a numeric value into the output and have it be labelled as in instruction, but why bother ? Do you really need this functionality. Why not just assemble the instruction normally ?
