Bug ID: 34527
Summary: [dlltools, feature request] Support generating MS
style import libraries (also called short import
libraries, or ILF)
Product: binutils
Version: 2.48 (HEAD)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: binutils
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: dragon-archer at outlook dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Hi, as the title suggests, it'd be nice if binutils dlltool can suuport
generating MS style import libraries (also called short import libraries, or
ILF), maybe with a new option.
It's worth noting that llvm-dlltool has supported this for a long time, and
binutils ld support reading this format.
The main benifit is that it significantly lowers the size of import libraries,
see https://github.com/mingw-w64/mingw-w64/issues/149 for more details.
