Bug ID: 31761
Summary: Linker deletes output file even if linking fails
Product: binutils
Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: ld
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: peter0x44 at disroot dot org
Target Milestone: ---
For cases of compiler commands like:
gcc -o file.c -lm
file.c gets deleted, despite that the linking fails (undefined reference to
main)
gcc -fuse-ld=lld and -fuse-ld=mold don't have this problem, and the "output"
remains intact regardless of the mistake in the command.
Both BFD and gold will delete file.c in this case.
