Hi Ralf,
OK, please could you try out the uploaded patch. There are several points
that need to be looked at:
* The fix is only enabled for x86 PE ports. Does it need to be enabled for
other PE ports ? (ARM, MIPS, SH, etc).
* The new script is only used when --enable-auto-import is present on the
linker command line, not when the linker magically enables auto import for
itself. (There appears to be code in pe{p}.em:...find_data_imports() that
magically enables auto importing. I was not sure what should be done in this
situation).
* There are still some input sections that are mapped to the .rdata output
section, even with the new script active:
.rdata BLOCK(__section_alignment__) :
{
*(.eh_frame)
___RUNTIME_PSEUDO_RELOC_LIST__ = .;
__RUNTIME_PSEUDO_RELOC_LIST__ = .;
*(.rdata_runtime_pseudo_reloc)
___RUNTIME_PSEUDO_RELOC_LIST_END__ = .;
__RUNTIME_PSEUDO_RELOC_LIST_END__ = .;
}
Should these input sections (and symbols) be moved to the .data section as
well ?
Most importantly, I have not checked the patched linker when used to link real
applications. I am not really set up here to do that, so I hope that you will
be able to test it for me.
Cheers
Nick
