[Bug ld/28398] binutils: ld: KEEP ignored

Your expectation is not correct. KEEP is for controlling garbage collection of sections part of objects loaded by ld. The behaviour of unix archives is orthogonal to this, as Jessica commented. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28398 Jessica Clarke changed: What|Removed |Added CC||jrtc27 at jrtc27 dot com --- Comment #3 from Jessica Clarke --- 1. That's because you need -Wl,--whole-archive to include all .o files in the .a 2. Don't put a dot in the section names, make them valid C identifiers and use the linker-generated __start_$section/__stop_$section names 3. You will need -Wl,-z,nostart-stop-gc for LLD 13+ because the maintainer decided breaking coding patterns that have worked for decades is fine (binutils also accepts the flag as of 2.37 but does not currently default to the broken behaviour) If you want a BSD-2-Clause-licensed linker set implementation you can grab sys/sys/linker_set.h from FreeBSD and alter it however you like. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
