From: Andrew Burgess Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2017 10:29:04 +0000 (+0100) Subject: ld: Early detection of orphans we know will be discarded X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5b5f4e6f8cd2;p=binutils-gdb.git ld: Early detection of orphans we know will be discarded When processing an orphan section we first call lang_place_orphans, this function handles a few sections for which the behaviour is known COMMON sections, or sections marked as SEC_EXCLUDE. Any orphans that are not handled in lang_place_orphans are passed on to ldlang_place_orphan, this is where we decide where to put the orphan, and then call lang_add_section to perform the actual orphan placement. We previously had a larger set of checks at the start of the function lang_add_section to discard some sections that we _knew_ should not be added into the output file, this was where .group sections (in a final link) and .debug* sections (with --strip-debug) were dropped. The problem with dropping these sections at the lang_add_section stage is that a user might also be using --orphan-handling=error to prevent orphans. If they are then they should not be get errors about sections that we know will be discarded, and which are not mentioned in the linker script. The solution proposed in this patch is to move the "will this section be discarded" check into a separate function, and use this in lang_place_orphans to have the early discard phase discard sections that we know should not be included in the output file. ld/ChangeLog: PR 21961 * ldlang.c (lang_discard_section_p): New function. (lang_add_section): Checks moved out into new function, which is now called.
