branch: development commit 5fa7a3b50506cb7ba9e82d77140f4958fb534127 Author: Martin Storsjö <mar...@martin.st> AuthorDate: Wed Oct 10 10:47:21 2018 +0300
libtool: Prefer response files over linker scripts for mingw tools The GCC/binutils tools support response files just fine, while lld (impersonating GNU ld) only supports response files, not linker scripts. Using a linker script as input just to pass a list of files is overkill for cases when a response file is enough. * build-aux/ltmain.in: Move creation of ld script. * m4/libtool.m4: Add new variable tag for file_list_spec. --- build-aux/ltmain.in | 28 ++++++++++++++-------------- m4/libtool.m4 | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/build-aux/ltmain.in b/build-aux/ltmain.in index be94b032..83aaaf92 100644 --- a/build-aux/ltmain.in +++ b/build-aux/ltmain.in @@ -7937,20 +7937,7 @@ func_mode_link () last_robj= k=1 - if test -n "$save_libobjs" && test : != "$skipped_export" && test yes = "$with_gnu_ld"; then - output=$output_objdir/$output_la.lnkscript - func_verbose "creating GNU ld script: $output" - echo 'INPUT (' > $output - for obj in $save_libobjs - do - func_to_tool_file "$obj" - $ECHO "$func_to_tool_file_result" >> $output - done - echo ')' >> $output - func_append delfiles " $output" - func_to_tool_file "$output" - output=$func_to_tool_file_result - elif test -n "$save_libobjs" && test : != "$skipped_export" && test -n "$file_list_spec"; then + if test -n "$save_libobjs" && test : != "$skipped_export" && test -n "$file_list_spec"; then output=$output_objdir/$output_la.lnk func_verbose "creating linker input file list: $output" : > $output @@ -7969,6 +7956,19 @@ func_mode_link () func_append delfiles " $output" func_to_tool_file "$output" output=$firstobj\"$file_list_spec$func_to_tool_file_result\" + elif test -n "$save_libobjs" && test : != "$skipped_export" && test yes = "$with_gnu_ld"; then + output=$output_objdir/$output_la.lnkscript + func_verbose "creating GNU ld script: $output" + echo 'INPUT (' > $output + for obj in $save_libobjs + do + func_to_tool_file "$obj" + $ECHO "$func_to_tool_file_result" >> $output + done + echo ')' >> $output + func_append delfiles " $output" + func_to_tool_file "$output" + output=$func_to_tool_file_result else if test -n "$save_libobjs"; then func_verbose "creating reloadable object files..." diff --git a/m4/libtool.m4 b/m4/libtool.m4 index 0a8aaaec..5092b0e3 100644 --- a/m4/libtool.m4 +++ b/m4/libtool.m4 @@ -5204,6 +5204,7 @@ _LT_EOF _LT_TAGVAR(enable_shared_with_static_runtimes, $1)=yes _LT_TAGVAR(export_symbols_cmds, $1)='$NM $libobjs $convenience | $global_symbol_pipe | $SED -e '\''/^[[BCDGRS]][[ ]]/s/.*[[ ]]\([[^ ]]*\)/\1 DATA/;s/^.*[[ ]]__nm__\([[^ ]]*\)[[ ]][[^ ]]*/\1 DATA/;/^I[[ ]]/d;/^[[AITW]][[ ]]/s/.* //'\'' | sort | uniq > $export_symbols' _LT_TAGVAR(exclude_expsyms, $1)=['[_]+GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_|[_]+GLOBAL__[FID]_.*|[_]+head_[A-Za-z0-9_]+_dll|[A-Za-z0-9_]+_dll_iname'] + _LT_TAGVAR(file_list_spec, $1)='@' if $LD --help 2>&1 | $GREP 'auto-import' > /dev/null; then _LT_TAGVAR(archive_cmds, $1)='$CC -shared $libobjs $deplibs $compiler_flags -o $output_objdir/$soname $wl--enable-auto-image-base -Xlinker --out-implib -Xlinker $lib' @@ -6781,6 +6782,7 @@ if test yes != "$_lt_caught_CXX_error"; then _LT_TAGVAR(allow_undefined_flag, $1)=unsupported _LT_TAGVAR(always_export_symbols, $1)=no _LT_TAGVAR(enable_shared_with_static_runtimes, $1)=yes + _LT_TAGVAR(file_list_spec, $1)='@' if $LD --help 2>&1 | $GREP 'auto-import' > /dev/null; then _LT_TAGVAR(archive_cmds, $1)='$CC -shared -nostdlib $predep_objects $libobjs $deplibs $postdep_objects $compiler_flags -o $output_objdir/$soname $wl--enable-auto-image-base -Xlinker --out-implib -Xlinker $lib'
