Bug ID: 24600 Summary: Support --start-lib --end-lib Product: binutils Version: unspecified Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: ld Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org Reporter: maskray at google dot com Target Milestone: --- --start-lib gives following object files (before --end-lib) archive semantics. They are handy if you don't want to create archives for the semantics. Some build system makes use of this option as an optimization: after changes of object files, no archives need updating. % ld.lld a.o --start-lib b.o --end-lib % gold a.o --start-lib b.o --end-lib % ld.bfd a.o --start-lib b.o --end-lib ld.bfd: unrecognized option '--start-lib' ld.bfd: use the --help option for usage information --start-lib can not be nested in --start-group, vice versa. -- 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
