Bug ID: 25591
Summary: Should /DISCARD/ : { *(.symtab) *(.strtab) } work?
Product: binutils
Version: 2.35 (HEAD)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: ld
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: i at maskray dot me
Target Milestone: ---
In lld,
SECTIONS {
/DISCARD/ : { *(.symtab) *(.strtab) }
}
can discard the synthesized .symtab and .strtab (probably since
https://reviews.llvm.org/D27040 ).
Discarding .shstrtab is not allowed:
% ld.lld -T =(printf 'SECTIONS { /DISCARD/ : { *(.shstrtab) }}') a.o -o a
ld.lld: error: discarding .shstrtab section is not allowed
Discarding *(*) triggers a similar error:
% ld.lld -T =(printf 'SECTIONS { /DISCARD/ : { *(*) }}') a.o -o a
ld.lld: error: discarding .shstrtab section is not allowed
GNU ld keeps .symtab, .strtab and .shstrtab
