--- Comment #2 from mintsuki <mintsuki at protonmail dot com> --- (In reply to H.J. Lu from comment #1) > It is done to ensure that PIE is loaded at the specific address which may > be required for functional, performance or security purposes. This does not match what all the other major linkers do (LLD, gold). It also isn't properly documented anywhere that I could find. Additionally, why would someone generate a PIE just for it to be loaded *always* at the same specified address? What is the use case? >From what I know, if a PIE has a specific non-0 load address, it should be taken as a hint or preferred load address, but then the program loader should be able to apply any slide to it as it sees fit. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
