Hi Everyone, > > We are pleased to announce that version 2.30 of the Binutils project > sources have been released and are now available for download at: > > https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils > https://sourceware.org/pub/binutils/releases/ > > This release contains numerous bug fixes, and also the > following new features: > > In the assembler: > > * Add support for location views in DWARF debug line information. > > In the BFD linker: > > * Add -z separate-code to generate separate code PT_LOAD segment. > > * Add "-z undefs" command line option as the inverse of the "-z defs" > option. > > * Add -z globalaudit command line option to force audit libraries to > be run > for every dynamic object loaded by an executable - provided that the > loader > supports this functionality. > > * Tighten linker script grammar around file name specifiers to prevent > the use > of SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT and SORT_BY_INIT_PRIORITY on filenames. These > would > previously be accepted but had no effect. > > * The EXCLUDE_FILE directive can now be placed within any SORT_* > directive > within input section lists. > > In the GOLD linker: > > * Add support for .MIPS.options sections (MIPS only). > > * Add support for compound relocations (MIPS only). > > * Add --emit-stub-syms, --no-tls-optimize, --tls-get-addr-optimize > options > (PowerPC only). > > * Add -z text-unlikely-segment option. > > * Add plugin support for adding new input files > (LDPT_REGISTER_NEW_INPUT_HOOK). > > In the utilities: > > * Add --debug-dump=links option to readelf and --dwarf=links option to > objdump > which displays the contents of any .gnu_debuglink or > .gnu_debugaltlink > sections. > > * Add a --debug-dump=follow-links option to readelf and a > --dwarf=follow-links > option to objdump which causes indirect links into separate debug > info files > to be followed when dumping other DWARF sections. > > Our thanks go out to all of the binutils contributors, past and > present, for helping to make this release possible. > > Cheers > FSF Binutils Project > > PS.
