--- Comment #3 from Nick Clifton <nickc at redhat dot com> --- (In reply to Martin Liska from comment #2) > That means my example in comment 0 should fail because 'aaa.map' is in 'aaa' > folder (sorry for the bad names) as -Laaa should be ignored when > --version-script=aaa.map is searched. Or do I miss something? I think that you have missed something. The command succeeds because the -Laaa option lets the linker know that is should search for the aaa.map file in the aaa directory. Maybe this will help: % strace ld [...] -Laaa [...] --version-script=aaa.map >& fred % grep openat fred | grep aaa.map openat(AT_FDCWD, "aaa.map", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) openat(AT_FDCWD, "aaa/aaa.map", O_RDONLY) = 3 So the linker tries twice to find the aaa.map file. Once in the current directory and then a second time in the aaa/ directory. The --version-script option tells the linker the name of a version control file that it should use. The -L option provides a directory location where the linker might be able to find the file. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
