If I remember correctly, there were some legacy uses of gold within Google that used decimal parameters; those are the users I was concerned about. Maybe accepting addresses in decimal is weird, but I think it's weirder that only a few options default to hex. For example, -z max-page-size, -z stack-size, --image-base (PE) take a (default) decimal value. These options also don't seem to have a way to specify decimal or octal. That makes them inconsistent with all other ld options that take a value. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
