Bug ID: 28851
Summary: ar: add 'L' modifier as a shortcut for ADDLIB
Product: binutils
Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: binutils
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: i at maskray dot me
Target Milestone: ---
`ar r a.a b.a` adds b.a as a member. Sometimes the user wants to add the
members of an archive into another archive.
https://sources.debian.org/src/x265/3.5-2/build/linux/multilib.sh/?hl=29#L27
uses the following to merge several archives into one:
ar -M <<EOF
CREATE libx265.a
ADDLIB libx265_main.a
ADDLIB libx265_main10.a
ADDLIB libx265_main12.a
SAVE
END
EOF
Using MRI is inconvenient. In 2018, llvm-ar added 'L' as a shortcut for ADDLIB
(https://reviews.llvm.org/D53332). It'd be nice if binutils ar supports 'L' as
well.
