* ldfile.c (ldfile_open_command): Don't try .ld extension.
It wasn't documented (or likely used) and wastes time.
(try_open): If EXTEN is empty, don't try it.
* ldctor.c, lderror.c, ldexp.c, ldfile.c, ldindr.c, ldlang.c,
ldlex.l, ldmain.c, ldmisc.c, ldsym.c, ldver.c, ldwarn.c,
ldwrite.c, lexsup.c, mri.c, relax.c: Replace DEFUN macro calls
with normal function declarations.
* Move *.em to emultempl/*.em. Move *.sh to emulparams/*.sh.
Move *.sc-sh to scripttempl/*.sc.
* {emultempl,emulparams,scripttempl}/README: New files.
* sh.em, st2000.em, z8ksim.em, h8300hms.em, h8500hms.em: Files
removed, replaced with generic.em.
* h8300.sh, h8500.sh, h8300.sc, h8500.sc: Renamed from
h8[35]00hms.s[ch]. Change their contents to omit the "hms".
* *.em (*_get_script): Return script name instead of script contents.
* ldlang.c (lang_process): Change caller.
* ldlex.l, ldgram.y: Recognize -m option.
Check for input files after *all* options in grammar.
* ldmain.c (main): Check for -m options. Add default directory
for -m.
* mkscript.c: File removed.
* genscripts.sh: Take two more parameters, tooldirlib and libdir,
to add to the default LIB_PATH.
Look for input files in the new subdirectories.
Create the scripts in emulations subdirectory and don't filter
them through mkscript.
* configure.in: Make the emulations subdirectory.
* Makefile.in: Account for all of the above changes.
Remove unused .SUFFIXES. Get libgcc.a path with gcc
-print-libgcc-file-name instead of $(libdir)/libgcc.a.
Put CFLAGS last in the compilation rules.
Add -I../bfd to INCLUDES so sysdep.h is found.
* ldfile.c (try_open): If opening without the extension fails,
try with the extension even if -v or -V was given.
had_script is imported (from ldgram.y), not exported.

@cindex what is this?
|
1992-08-08 00:31:17 +00:00
|
|
|
@code{ld} combines a number of object and archive files, relocates
|
1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00
|
|
|
their data and ties up symbol references. Usually the last step in
|
|
|
|
compiling a program is to run @code{ld}.
|
1991-04-15 22:51:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
1992-08-08 00:31:17 +00:00
|
|
|
@code{ld} accepts Linker Command Language files written in
|
1991-10-05 01:49:09 +00:00
|
|
|
a superset of AT&T's Link Editor Command Language syntax,
|
1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00
|
|
|
to provide explicit and total control over the linking process.

This version of @code{ld} uses the general purpose BFD libraries
|
|
|
|
to operate on object files. This allows @code{ld} to read, combine, and
|
1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00
|
|
|
write object files in many different formats---for example, COFF or
|
|
|
|
@code{a.out}. Different formats may be linked together to produce any
|
|
|
|
available kind of object file. @xref{BFD} for a list of formats
|
|
|
|
supported on various architectures.

Aside from its flexibility, the GNU linker is more helpful than other
|
|
|
|
linkers in providing diagnostic information. Many linkers abandon
|
|
|
|
execution immediately upon encountering an error; whenever possible,
|
1992-08-08 00:31:17 +00:00
|
|
|
@code{ld} continues executing, allowing you to identify other errors
|
1991-10-05 01:49:09 +00:00
|
|
|
(or, in some cases, to get an output file in spite of the error).

The GNU linker @code{ld} is meant to cover a broad range of situations,
|
1991-10-05 01:49:09 +00:00
|
|
|
and to be as compatible as possible with other linkers. As a result,
|
1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00
|
|
|
you have many choices to control its behavior.

@cindex standard Unix system
|
1992-08-08 00:31:17 +00:00
|
|
|
For instance, a frequent use of @code{ld} is to link standard Unix
|
1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00
|
|
|
object files on a standard, supported Unix system. On such a system, to
|
|
|
|
link a file @code{hello.o}:
|
1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00
|
|
|
|
1991-04-15 22:51:21 +00:00
|
|
|
@example
|
1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00
|
|
|
ld -o @var{output} /lib/crt0.o hello.o -lc
|
1991-04-15 22:51:21 +00:00
|
|
|
@end example
|
1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00
|
|
|
|
1993-03-30 06:55:41 +00:00
|
|
|
This tells @code{ld} to produce a file called @var{output} as the
|
1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00
|
|
|
result of linking the file @code{/lib/crt0.o} with @code{hello.o} and
|
1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00
|
|
|
the library @code{libc.a}, which will come from the standard search
|
|
|
|
directories. (See the discussion of the @samp{-l} option below.)

specify other forms of binary input files using @samp{-l}, @samp{-R},
|

and the script command language. If @emph{no} binary input files at all
|

are specified, the linker does not produce any output, and issues the

linking object files of different formats), by including

1993-07-08 18:00:11 +00:00

1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00

Doing this may, for example, trigger linking of additional modules from

standard libraries. @samp{-u} may be repeated with different option

1991-10-05 01:49:09 +00:00

arguments to enter additional undefined symbols.

@c Nice idea, but no such command: This option is equivalent
|

@c to the @code{EXTERN} linker command.

@cindex constructors
|
|
|
|
For anything other than C++ programs, this option is equivalent to
|
1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00
|
|
|
@samp{-r}: it generates relocatable output---i.e., an output file that can in
|
|
|
|
turn serve as input to @code{ld}. When linking C++ programs, @samp{-Ur}
|
|
|
|
@emph{will} resolve references to constructors, unlike @samp{-r}.
|
1993-08-03 00:33:38 +00:00
|
|
|
It does not work to use @samp{-Ur} on files that were themselves linked
|
|
|
|
with @samp{-Ur}; once the constructor table has been built, it can not
|
|
|
|
be added to. Use @samp{-Ur} only for the last partial link, and
|
|
|
|
@samp{-r} for the others.

@cindex combining symbols, warnings on
|
1993-08-03 22:47:28 +00:00
|
|
|
Warn when a common symbol is combined with another common symbol or with
|
|
|
|
a symbol definition. Unix linkers allow this somewhat sloppy practice,
|
|
|
|
but linkers on some other operating systems do not. This option allows
|
|
|
|
you to find potential problems from combining global symbols.
|
1993-08-03 23:09:03 +00:00
|
|
|
Unfortunately, some C libraries use this practice, so you may get some
|
|
|
|
warnings about symbols in the libraries as well as in your programs.
|
1993-08-03 22:47:28 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are three kinds of global symbols, illustrated here by C examples:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @samp
|
|
|
|
@item int i = 1;
|
|
|
|
A definition, which goes in the initialized data section of the output
|
|
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item extern int i;
|
|
|
|
An undefined reference, which does not allocate space.
|
|
|
|
There must be either a definition or a common symbol for the
|
|
|
|
variable somewhere.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item int i;
|
|
|
|
A common symbol. If there are only (one or more) common symbols for a
|
|
|
|
variable, it goes in the uninitialized data area of the output file.
|
|
|
|
The linker merges multiple common symbols for the same variable into a
|
|
|
|
single symbol. If they are of different sizes, it picks the largest
|
|
|
|
size. The linker turns a common symbol into a declaration, if there is
|
|
|
|
a definition of the same variable.
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @samp{-warn-common} option can produce five kinds of warnings. Each
|
|
|
|
warning consists of a pair of lines: the first describes the symbol just
|
|
|
|
encountered, and the second describes the previous symbol encountered
|
|
|
|
with the same name. One or both of the two symbols will be a common
|
|
|
|
symbol.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@enumerate
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
Turning a common symbol into a reference, because there is already a
|
|
|
|
definition for the symbol.

1993-11-03 00:09:34 +00:00

1991-10-05 01:49:09 +00:00
|
|
|
input format by examining binary input files; this method often
|
|

succeeds, but there are potential ambiguities, since there is no method

1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00

|
|
of ensuring that the magic number used to specify object-file formats is
|
1991-10-05 01:49:09 +00:00
|
|
|
unique. However, the configuration procedure for BFD on each system
|
|
|
|
places the conventional format for that system first in the search-list,
|

|
so ambiguities are resolved in favor of convention.

The @code{ld} command language is a collection of statements; some are
|
1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00
|
|
|
simple keywords setting a particular option, some are used to select and
|
|
|
|
group input files or name output files; and two statement
|
1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00
|
|
|
types have a fundamental and pervasive impact on the linking process.

@cindex layout of output file
|
1992-08-08 00:31:17 +00:00
|
|
|
The most fundamental command of the @code{ld} command language is the
|
1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00
|
|
|
@code{SECTIONS} command (@pxref{SECTIONS}). Every meaningful command
|
|
|
|
script must have a @code{SECTIONS} command: it specifies a
|
|
|
|
``picture'' of the output file's layout, in varying degrees of detail.
|
|
|
|
No other command is required in all cases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @code{MEMORY} command complements @code{SECTIONS} by describing the
|
1991-10-05 01:49:09 +00:00
|
|
|
available memory in the target architecture. This command is optional;
|
1992-08-08 00:31:17 +00:00
|
|
|
if you don't use a @code{MEMORY} command, @code{ld} assumes sufficient
|
1991-10-05 01:49:09 +00:00
|
|
|
memory is available in a contiguous block for all output.

@cindex comments
|
|
|
|
You may include comments in linker scripts just as in C: delimited
|
|
|
|
by @samp{/*} and @samp{*/}. As in C, comments are syntactically
|
|
|
|
equivalent to whitespace.

|
|
|
The special linker variable @dfn{dot} @samp{.} always contains the
|
|
|
|
current output location counter. Since the @code{.} always refers to
|
|
|
|
a location in an output section, it must always appear in an
|
|
|
|
expression within a @code{SECTIONS} command. The @code{.} symbol
|
|
|
|
may appear anywhere that an ordinary symbol is allowed in an
|
|
|
|
expression, but its assignments have a side effect. Assigning a value
|
|
|
|
to the @code{.} symbol will cause the location counter to be moved.

The linker uses ``lazy evaluation'' for expressions; it only calculates
|
|
|
|
an expression when absolutely necessary. The linker needs the value of
|
|
|
|
the start address, and the lengths of memory regions, in order to do any
|
|
|
|
linking at all; these values are computed as soon as possible when the
|
|
|
|
linker reads in the command file. However, other values (such as symbol
|
|
|
|
values) are not known or needed until after storage allocation. Such
|
|
|
|
values are evaluated later, when other information (such as the sizes of
|
|
|
|
output sections) is available for use in the symbol assignment
|
|
|
|
expression.

an absolute address. The last case defines a symbol whose address is
|

|
|
|
relative to a particular section (@pxref{SECTIONS}).

|
|
When a linker expression is evaluated and assigned to a variable, it is
|
|
|
|
given either an absolute or a relocatable type. An absolute expression
|
|
|
|
type is one in which the symbol contains the value that it will have in
|
1993-08-05 22:49:26 +00:00
|
|
|
the output file; a relocatable expression type is one in which the
|
1991-10-05 01:49:09 +00:00
|
|
|
value is expressed as a fixed offset from the base of a section.
|
1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The type of the expression is controlled by its position in the script
|
1991-10-05 01:49:09 +00:00
|
|
|
file. A symbol assigned within a section definition is created relative
|
|
|
|
to the base of the section; a symbol assigned in any other place is
|
|
|
|
created as an absolute symbol. Since a symbol created within a
|
|
|
|
section definition is relative to the base of the section, it
|
|
|
|
will remain relocatable if relocatable output is requested. A symbol
|
|
|
|
may be created with an absolute value even when assigned to within a
|
|
|
|
section definition by using the absolute assignment function
|
|
|
|
@code{ABSOLUTE}. For example, to create an absolute symbol whose address
|
|
|
|
is the last byte of an output section named @code{.data}:
|

|
The linker tries to put off the evaluation of an assignment until all
|
|
|
|
the terms in the source expression are known (@pxref{Evaluation}). For
|
1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00
|
|
|
instance, the sizes of sections cannot be known until after allocation,
|
1991-10-05 01:49:09 +00:00
|
|
|
so assignments dependent upon these are not performed until after
|
|
|
|
allocation. Some expressions, such as those depending upon the location
|
|
|
|
counter @dfn{dot}, @samp{.} must be evaluated during allocation. If the
|
|
|
|
result of an expression is required, but the value is not available,
|
|
|
|
then an error results. For example, a script like the following
|
1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00

1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00
|
|
|
@code{MEMORY} command describes the location and size of blocks of
|
|
|
|
memory in the target. By using it carefully, you can describe which
|
|
|
|
memory regions may be used by the linker, and which memory regions it
|
|
|
|
must avoid. The linker does not shuffle sections to fit into the
|
|
|
|
available regions, but does move the requested sections into the correct
|
|
|
|
regions and issue errors when the regions become too full.

A command file may contain at most one use of the @code{MEMORY}
|
1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00
|
|
|
command; however, you can define as many blocks of memory within it as
|
|
|
|
you wish. The syntax is:

Once you have defined a region of memory named @var{mem}, you can direct
|
1991-10-05 01:49:09 +00:00
|
|
|
specific output sections there by using a command ending in
|
|
|
|
@samp{>@var{mem}} within the @code{SECTIONS} command (@pxref{Section
|
|
|
|
Options}). If the combined output sections directed to a region are too
|
|
|
|
big for the region, the linker will issue an error message.

1993-08-05 22:49:26 +00:00
|
|
|
placed into output sections, their order in the output file, and to
|

which output sections they are allocated.

|
|
|
|
1993-08-05 22:49:26 +00:00
|
|
|
You may use at most one @code{SECTIONS} command in a script file,
|
1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00
|
|
|
but you can have as many statements within it as you wish. Statements
|
|
|
|
within the @code{SECTIONS} command can do one of three things:
|
|
|
|
@itemize @bullet
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
define the entry point;
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
assign a value to a symbol;
|
|
|
|
@item
|
1993-08-05 22:49:26 +00:00
|
|
|
describe the placement of a named output section, and which input
|
|
|
|
sections go into it.
|
1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00
|
|
|
@end itemize
|
|
|
|
|
1993-11-03 00:09:34 +00:00
|
|
|
You can also use the first two operations---defining the entry point and
|
|
|
|
defining symbols---outside the @code{SECTIONS} command: @pxref{Entry
|
|
|
|
Point}, and @pxref{Assignment}. They are permitted here as well for
|
|
|
|
your convenience in reading the script, so that symbols and the entry
|
|
|
|
point can be defined at meaningful points in your output-file layout.
|
1991-04-15 22:51:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
1993-08-05 22:49:26 +00:00
|
|
|
When no @code{SECTIONS} command is given, the linker places each input
|
|
|
|
section into an identically named output section in the order that the
|
|
|
|
sections are first encountered in the input files. If all input sections
|
|
|
|
are present in the first file, for example, the order of sections in the
|
|
|
|
output file will match the order in the first input file.

The most frequently used statement in the @code{SECTIONS} command is
|
1993-08-05 22:49:26 +00:00
|
|
|
the @dfn{section definition}, which specifies the
|
1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00
|
|
|
properties of an output section: its location, alignment, contents,
|
1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00
|
|
|
fill pattern, and target memory region. Most of
|
1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00
|
|
|
these specifications are optional; the simplest form of a section
|
|
|
|
definition is
|

|

@var{secname} is the name of the output section, and @var{contents} a
|
1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00
|
|
|
specification of what goes there---for example, a list of input files or
|
1993-08-05 22:49:26 +00:00
|
|
|
sections of input files (@pxref{Section Placement}). As you might
|
|
|
|
assume, the whitespace shown is optional. You do need the colon
|
|
|
|
@samp{:} and the braces @samp{@{@}}, however.
|
1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@var{secname} must meet the constraints of your output format. In
|
|
|
|
formats which only support a limited number of sections, such as
|
|
|
|
@code{a.out}, the name must be one of the names supported by the format
|
1991-10-05 01:49:09 +00:00
|
|
|
(@code{a.out}, for example, allows only @code{.text}, @code{.data} or
|
|
|
|
@code{.bss}). If the output format supports any number of sections, but
|
|
|
|
with numbers and not names (as is the case for Oasys), the name should be
|
|
|
|
supplied as a quoted numeric string. A section name may consist of any
|
1993-08-05 22:49:26 +00:00
|
|
|
sequence of characters, but any name which does not conform to the standard
|
1992-08-08 00:31:17 +00:00
|
|
|
@code{ld} symbol name syntax must be quoted.

@cindex contents of a section
|
1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00

In a section definition, you can specify the contents of an output section by
|
1993-08-05 22:49:26 +00:00
|
|
|
listing particular input files, by listing particular input-file
|
1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00
|
|
|
sections, or by a combination of the two. You can also place arbitrary
|
1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00
|
|
|
data in the section, and define symbols relative to the beginning of the
|
|
|
|
section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The @var{contents} of a section definition may include any of the
|
|
|
|
following kinds of statement. You can include as many of these as you
|
|
|
|
like in a single section definition, separated from one another by
|
|

whitespace.

You may simply name a particular input file to be placed in the current

output section; @emph{all} sections from that file are placed in the

|

current section definition. If the file name has already been mentioned
|

in another section definition, with an explicit section name list, then

only those sections which have not yet been allocated are used.

Instead of explicitly naming particular input files in a link control
|
1992-08-08 00:31:17 +00:00

script, you can refer to @emph{all} files from the @code{ld} command

|
|

line: use @samp{*} instead of a particular file name before the

parenthesized input-file section list.
|
|
|
|
|
1993-08-05 22:49:26 +00:00
|

If you have already explicitly included some files by name, @samp{*}
|
|
|

refers to all @emph{remaining} files---those whose places in the output

file have not yet been defined.

Specify where in your output file to place uninitialized data

|
|
|
uninitialized data from all input files (so far as it is not yet
|

allocated); @var{filename}@code{(COMMON)} refers to uninitialized data
|
|
|
|
from a particular file. Both are special cases of the general
|
|
|
|
mechanisms for specifying where to place input-file sections:
|
1992-08-08 00:31:17 +00:00
|
|
|
@code{ld} permits you to refer to uninitialized data as if it
|
1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00
|
|
|
were in an input-file section named @code{COMMON}, regardless of the

input file's format.

For example, the following command script arranges the output file into

1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00
|
|
|
three consecutive sections, named @code{.text}, @code{.data}, and

@code{.bss}, taking the input for each from the correspondingly named

All of the remaining @code{.input1} and @code{.input2} sections from any

The foregoing statements

|
arrange, in your output file, data originating from your input files.
|
|

You can also place data directly in an output section from the link

|
command script. Most of these additional statements involve
|
|
|
|
expressions; @pxref{Expressions}. Although these statements are shown
|
|
|
|
separately here for ease of presentation, no such segregation is needed
|
|

within a section definition in the @code{SECTIONS} command; you can

intermix them freely with any of the statements we've just described.

need to be loaded into each object file:

The linker command language includes a command specifically for
|
|
|
|
defining the first executable instruction in an output file (its
|
|
|
|
@dfn{entry point}). Its argument is a symbol name:
|
1991-04-15 22:51:21 +00:00
|
|
|
@example
|
1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00
|
|
|
ENTRY(@var{symbol})
|
1991-04-15 22:51:21 +00:00

|
|
@end example
|
1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Like symbol assignments, the @code{ENTRY} command may be placed either
|
|
|
|
as an independent command in the command file, or among the section
|
|
|
|
definitions within the @code{SECTIONS} command---whatever makes the most
|
|
|
|
sense for your layout.

@cindex entry point, defaults

@code{ENTRY} is only one of several ways of choosing the entry point.
|

You may indicate it in any of the following ways (shown in descending

1991-10-05 01:49:09 +00:00
|
|
|
For example, you can use these rules to generate an entry point with an
|
|
|
|
assignment statement: if no symbol @code{start} is defined within your
|
|
|
|
input files, you can simply define it, assigning it an appropriate
|
|
|
|
value---
|
1991-04-15 22:51:21 +00:00
|
|
|
@example
|
1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00
|
|
|
start = 0x2020;
|
1991-04-15 22:51:21 +00:00

1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
The example shows an absolute address, but you can use any expression.
|
|
|
|
For example, if your input object files use some other symbol-name
|
|
|
|
convention for the entry point, you can just assign the value of
|
|
|
|
whatever symbol contains the start address to @code{start}:
|
1991-04-15 22:51:21 +00:00
|
|
|
@example
|
1992-08-19 21:34:47 +00:00

@section Option Commands
|
1991-04-20 00:07:39 +00:00
|
|
|
The command language includes a number of other commands that you can
|
|
|
|
use for specialized purposes. They are similar in purpose to
|
|
|
|
command-line options.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
1991-10-05 01:49:09 +00:00
|
|
|
@kindex NOFLOAT
|
|
|
|
These keywords were used in some older linkers to request a particular
|
1992-08-08 00:31:17 +00:00
|
|
|
math subroutine library. @code{ld} doesn't use the keywords, assuming
|
1991-10-05 01:49:09 +00:00
|
|
|
instead that any necessary subroutines are in libraries specified using
|
|
|
|
the general mechanisms for linking to archives; but to permit the use of
|
|
|
|
scripts that were written for the older linkers, the keywords
|
|
|
|
@code{FLOAT} and @code{NOFLOAT} are accepted and ignored.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
@item FORCE_COMMON_ALLOCATION

|
|

@cindex common allocation
|
1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00
|
|
|
This command has the same effect as the @samp{-d} command-line option:
|
1991-10-05 01:49:09 +00:00
|
|
|
to make @code{ld} assign space to common symbols even if a relocatable
|
1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00
|
|
|
output file is specified (@samp{-r}).

1991-10-05 01:49:09 +00:00

|
|
Use this command to include binary input files in the link, without

1993-10-01 21:08:13 +00:00
|
|
|
including them in a particular section definition.
|
|
|
|
Specify the full name for each @var{file}, including @samp{.a} if
|
|
|
|
required.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@code{ld} searches for each @var{file} through the archive-library
|
|

search path, just as for files you specify on the command line.
|

1993-08-05 22:49:26 +00:00

one of the strings used by BFD to name binary formats. If @code{TARGET}

For the H8/300, @code{ld} can perform these global optimizations when

you specify the @samp{-relax} command-line option.

(That is: the linker turns @samp{mov.b @code{@@}@var{aa}:16} into

You can use the @samp{-A@var{architecture}} command line option to
|
|
|
|
specify one of the two-letter names identifying members of the 960
|
|
|
|
family; the option specifies the desired output target, and warns of any
|
|
|
|
incompatible instructions in the input files. It also modifies the
|
|
|
|
linker's search strategy for archive libraries, to support the use of
|
|
|
|
libraries specific to each particular architecture, by including in the
|
|
|
|
search loop names suffixed with the string identifying the architecture.
|
|
|
|
|
1992-08-08 00:31:17 +00:00

For example, if your @code{ld} command line included @w{@samp{-ACA}} as
|
1992-01-24 03:38:02 +00:00
|
|
|
well as @w{@samp{-ltry}}, the linker would look (in its built-in search
|
1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00
|
|
|
paths, and in any paths you specify with @samp{-L}) for a library with
|
1992-01-24 03:38:02 +00:00
|
|
|
the names
|
1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00
|

|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
The first two possibilities would be considered in any event; the last
|
|
|
|
two are due to the use of @w{@samp{-ACA}}.
|
|
|
|
|
1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00

|
You can meaningfully use @samp{-A} more than once on a command line, since
|
1992-01-24 03:38:02 +00:00
|
|
|
the 960 architecture family allows combination of target architectures; each
|
1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00
|
|
|
use will add another pair of name variants to search for when @w{@samp{-l}}
|
1992-01-24 03:38:02 +00:00

specifies a library.

The linker accesses object and archive files using the BFD libraries.
|
|
|
|
These libraries allow the linker to use the same routines to operate on
|
|
|
|
object files whatever the object file format. A different object file
|
|
|
|
format can be supported simply by creating a new BFD back end and adding
|
1992-01-24 03:38:02 +00:00
|
|
|
it to the library. You can use @code{objdump -i}
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{objdump,,objdump,binutils.info,The GNU Binary Utilities}) to
|
|
|
|
list all the formats available for each architecture under BFD. This

@cindex requirements for BFD
|
|
|
|
As with most implementations, BFD is a compromise between
|
1991-04-15 22:51:21 +00:00
|
|
|
several conflicting requirements. The major factor influencing
|
1991-10-05 01:49:09 +00:00
|
|
|
BFD design was efficiency: any time used converting between
|
|
|
|
formats is time which would not have been spent had BFD not
|
1991-04-15 22:51:21 +00:00
|
|
|
been involved. This is partly offset by abstraction payback; since
|
1991-10-05 01:49:09 +00:00
|
|
|
BFD simplifies applications and back ends, more time and care
|
1991-04-15 22:51:21 +00:00
|
|
|
may be spent optimizing algorithms for a greater speed.
|
|
|
|
|
1991-10-05 01:49:09 +00:00
|
|
|
One minor artifact of the BFD solution which you should bear in
|
|
|
|
mind is the potential for information loss. There are two places where
|
1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00
|
|
|
useful information can be lost using the BFD mechanism: during
|
1991-10-05 01:49:09 +00:00
|
|
|
conversion and during output. @xref{BFD information loss}.

@appendix MRI Compatible Script Files

|
|
|
@cindex MRI compatibility
|
|
|
|
To aid users making the transition to @sc{gnu} @code{ld} from the MRI
|
|
|
|
linker, @code{ld} can use MRI compatible linker scripts as an
|
|
|
|
alternative to the more general-purpose linker scripting language
|
|
|
|
described in @ref{Commands,,Command Language}. MRI compatible linker
|
|
|
|
scripts have a much simpler command set than the scripting language
|
|
|
|
otherwise used with @code{ld}. @sc{gnu} @code{ld} supports the most
|
|
|
|
commonly used MRI linker commands; these commands are described here.
|
|
|
|
|
1993-08-05 22:49:26 +00:00
|
|
|
In general, MRI scripts aren't of much use with the @code{a.out} object
|
|
|
|
file format, since it only has three sections and MRI scripts lack some
|
|
|
|
features to make use of them.
|
|
|
|
|
1992-05-05 00:52:27 +00:00
|
|
|
You can specify a file containing an MRI-compatible script using the
|
|
|
|
@samp{-c} command-line option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each command in an MRI-compatible script occupies its own line; each
|
|
|
|
command line starts with the keyword that identifies the command (though
|
|
|
|
blank lines are also allowed for punctuation). If a line of an
|
|
|
|
MRI-compatible script begins with an unrecognized keyword, @code{ld}
|
|
|
|
issues a warning message, but continues processing the script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lines beginning with @samp{*} are comments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can write these commands using all upper-case letters, or all
|
|
|
|
lower case; for example, @samp{chip} is the same as @samp{CHIP}.
|
|
|
|
The following list shows only the upper-case form of each command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
@item ABSOLUTE @var{secname}
|
|
|
|
@item ABSOLUTE @var{secname}, @var{secname}, @dots{} @var{secname}
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{ABSOLUTE} (MRI)
|
|
|
|
Normally, @code{ld} includes in the output file all sections from all
|
|
|
|
the input files. However, in an MRI-compatible script, you can use the
|
|
|
|
@code{ABSOLUTE} command to restrict the sections that will be present in
|
|
|
|
your output program. If the @code{ABSOLUTE} command is used at all in a
|
|
|
|
script, then only the sections named explicitly in @code{ABSOLUTE}
|
|
|
|
commands will appear in the linker output. You can still use other
|
|
|
|
input sections (whatever you select on the command line, or using
|
1992-05-07 19:54:26 +00:00
|
|
|
@code{LOAD}) to resolve addresses in the output file.

|
|
@item ALIAS @var{out-secname}, @var{in-secname}
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{ALIAS} (MRI)
|
|
|
|
Use this command to place the data from input section @var{in-secname}
|
|
|
|
in a section called @var{out-secname} in the linker output file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@var{in-secname} may be an integer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item BASE @var{expression}
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{BASE} (MRI)
|
|

Use the value of @var{expression} as the lowest address (other than
|
|
|
|
absolute addresses) in the output file.

|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00

* ldfile.c (ldfile_open_command): Don't try .ld extension.
It wasn't documented (or likely used) and wastes time.
(try_open): If EXTEN is empty, don't try it.
* ldctor.c, lderror.c, ldexp.c, ldfile.c, ldindr.c, ldlang.c,
ldlex.l, ldmain.c, ldmisc.c, ldsym.c, ldver.c, ldwarn.c,
ldwrite.c, lexsup.c, mri.c, relax.c: Replace DEFUN macro calls
with normal function declarations.
* Move *.em to emultempl/*.em. Move *.sh to emulparams/*.sh.
Move *.sc-sh to scripttempl/*.sc.
* {emultempl,emulparams,scripttempl}/README: New files.
* sh.em, st2000.em, z8ksim.em, h8300hms.em, h8500hms.em: Files
removed, replaced with generic.em.
* h8300.sh, h8500.sh, h8300.sc, h8500.sc: Renamed from
h8[35]00hms.s[ch]. Change their contents to omit the "hms".
* *.em (*_get_script): Return script name instead of script contents.
* ldlang.c (lang_process): Change caller.
* ldlex.l, ldgram.y: Recognize -m option.
Check for input files after *all* options in grammar.
* ldmain.c (main): Check for -m options. Add default directory
for -m.
* mkscript.c: File removed.
* genscripts.sh: Take two more parameters, tooldirlib and libdir,
to add to the default LIB_PATH.
Look for input files in the new subdirectories.
Create the scripts in emulations subdirectory and don't filter
them through mkscript.
* configure.in: Make the emulations subdirectory.
* Makefile.in: Account for all of the above changes.
Remove unused .SUFFIXES. Get libgcc.a path with gcc
-print-libgcc-file-name instead of $(libdir)/libgcc.a.
Put CFLAGS last in the compilation rules.
Add -I../bfd to INCLUDES so sysdep.h is found.
* ldfile.c (try_open): If opening without the extension fails,
try with the extension even if -v or -V was given.
had_script is imported (from ldgram.y), not exported.

1992-05-05 00:52:27 +00:00
|
|
|
@cindex @code{LIST} (MRI)
|
|
|
|
Print (to the standard output file) a link map, as produced by the
|
|
|
|
@code{ld} command-line option @samp{-M}.
|
|
|
|
|
1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00
|
|
|
The keyword @code{LIST} may be followed by anything on the
|
|
|
|
same line, with no change in its effect.

|
@item LOAD @var{filename}, @var{filename}, @dots{} @var{filename}
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{LOAD} (MRI)
|
|
|
|
Include one or more object file @var{filename} in the link; this has the
|
|
|
|
same effect as specifying @var{filename} directly on the @code{ld}
|
|
|
|
command line.

@item NAME @var{output-name}
|
|

|
@cindex @code{NAME} (MRI)
|
|
|
|
@var{output-name} is the name for the program produced by @code{ld}; the
|
|
|
|
MRI-compatible command @code{NAME} is equivalent to the command-line
|
|
|
|
option @samp{-o} or the general script language command @code{OUTPUT}.

@cindex @code{ORDER} (MRI)
|
1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00
|
|
|
Normally, @code{ld} orders the sections in its output file in the
|
|
|
|
order in which they first appear in the input files. In an MRI-compatible
|
|
|
|
script, you can override this ordering with the @code{ORDER} command. The
|
1992-05-05 00:52:27 +00:00
|
|
|
sections you list with @code{ORDER} will appear first in your output
|
|
|
|
file, in the order specified.

|
@item PUBLIC @var{name}=@var{expression}

|
@cindex @code{PUBLIC} (MRI)
|
1993-04-29 03:39:02 +00:00
|
|
|
Supply a value (@var{expression}) for external symbol
|
1992-05-05 00:52:27 +00:00
|
|
|
@var{name} used in the linker input files.

@item SECT @var{secname}, @var{expression}
|
|
|
|
@itemx SECT @var{secname}=@var{expression}

|
|
|
@itemx SECT @var{secname} @var{expression}
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{SECT} (MRI)
|
|
|
|
You can use any of these three forms of the @code{SECT} command to
|
|
|
|
specify the start address (@var{expression}) for section @var{secname}.
|
|
|
|
If you have more than one @code{SECT} statement for the same
|
|
|
|
@var{secname}, only the @emph{first} sets the start address.
