161 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
162 | \c | |
163 | .B ld\c | |
164 | \& combines a number of object and archive files, relocates | |
165 | their data and ties up symbol references. Often the last step in | |
166 | building a new compiled program to run is a call to \c | |
167 | .B ld\c | |
168 | \&. | |
169 | ||
170 | \c | |
171 | .B ld\c | |
172 | \& accepts Linker Command Language files | |
173 | to provide explicit and total control over the linking process. | |
174 | This man page does not describe the command language; see the `\|\c | |
175 | .B ld\c | |
176 | \|' entry in `\|\c | |
177 | .B info\c | |
178 | \|', or the manual | |
179 | .I | |
180 | ld: the GNU linker | |
181 | \&, for full details on the command language and on other aspects of | |
182 | the GNU linker. | |
183 | ||
184 | This version of \c | |
185 | .B ld\c | |
186 | \& uses the general purpose BFD libraries | |
187 | to operate on object files. This allows \c | |
188 | .B ld\c | |
189 | \& to read, combine, and | |
190 | write object files in many different formats\(em\&for example, COFF or | |
191 | \c | |
192 | .B a.out\c | |
193 | \&. Different formats may be linked together to produce any | |
194 | available kind of object file. You can use `\|\c | |
195 | .B objdump \-i\c | |
196 | \|' to get a list of formats supported on various architectures; see | |
197 | .BR objdump ( 1 ). | |
198 | ||
199 | Aside from its flexibility, the GNU linker is more helpful than other | |
200 | linkers in providing diagnostic information. Many linkers abandon | |
201 | execution immediately upon encountering an error; whenever possible, | |
202 | \c | |
203 | .B ld\c | |
204 | \& continues executing, allowing you to identify other errors | |
205 | (or, in some cases, to get an output file in spite of the error). | |
206 | ||
207 | The GNU linker \c | |
208 | .B ld\c | |
209 | \& is meant to cover a broad range of situations, | |
210 | and to be as compatible as possible with other linkers. As a result, | |
211 | you have many choices to control its behavior through the command line, | |
212 | and through environment variables. | |
213 | ||
214 | .SH OPTIONS | |
215 | The plethora of command-line options may seem intimidating, but in | |
216 | actual practice few of them are used in any particular context. | |
217 | For instance, a frequent use of \c | |
218 | .B ld\c | |
219 | \& is to link standard Unix | |
220 | object files on a standard, supported Unix system. On such a system, to | |
221 | link a file \c | |
222 | .B hello.o\c | |
223 | \&: | |
224 | .sp | |
225 | .br | |
226 | $\ ld\ \-o\ output\ /lib/crt0.o\ hello.o\ \-lc | |
227 | .br | |
228 | .sp | |
229 | This tells \c | |
230 | .B ld\c | |
231 | \& to produce a file called \c | |
232 | .B output\c | |
233 | \& as the | |
234 | result of linking the file \c | |
235 | .B /lib/crt0.o\c | |
236 | \& with \c | |
237 | .B hello.o\c | |
238 | \& and | |
239 | the library \c | |
240 | .B libc.a\c | |
241 | \& which will come from the standard search | |
242 | directories. | |
243 | ||
244 | The command-line options to \c | |
245 | .B ld\c | |
246 | \& may be specified in any order, and | |
247 | may be repeated at will. For the most part, repeating an option with a | |
248 | different argument will either have no further effect, or override prior | |
249 | occurrences (those further to the left on the command line) of an | |
250 | option. | |
251 | ||
252 | The exceptions\(em\&which may meaningfully be used more than once\(em\&are | |
253 | \c | |
254 | .B \-A\c | |
255 | \&, \c | |
256 | .B \-b\c | |
257 | \& (or its synonym \c | |
258 | .B \-format\c | |
259 | \&), \c | |
260 | .B \-defsym\c | |
176355da NC |
261 | \&, \c |
262 | .B \-\-section\-start\c | |
263 | \&, \c | |
252b5132 RH |
264 | .B \-L\c |
265 | \&, \c | |
266 | .B \-l\c | |
267 | \&, \c | |
268 | .B \-R\c | |
269 | \&, and \c | |
270 | .B \-u\c | |
271 | \&. | |
272 | ||
273 | The list of object files to be linked together, shown as \c | |
274 | .I objfile\c | |
275 | \&, | |
276 | may follow, precede, or be mixed in with command-line options; save that | |
277 | an \c | |
278 | .I objfile\c | |
279 | \& argument may not be placed between an option flag and | |
280 | its argument. | |
281 | ||
282 | Usually the linker is invoked with at least one object file, but other | |
283 | forms of binary input files can also be specified with \c | |
284 | .B \-l\c | |
285 | \&, | |
286 | \c | |
287 | .B \-R\c | |
288 | \&, and the script command language. If \c | |
289 | .I no\c | |
290 | \& binary input | |
291 | files at all are specified, the linker does not produce any output, and | |
292 | issues the message `\|\c | |
293 | .B No input files\c | |
294 | \|'. | |
295 | ||
296 | Option arguments must either follow the option letter without intervening | |
297 | whitespace, or be given as separate arguments immediately following the | |
298 | option that requires them. | |
299 | ||
300 | .TP | |
301 | .BI "-A" "architecture" | |
302 | In the current release of \c | |
303 | .B ld\c | |
304 | \&, this option is useful only for the | |
305 | Intel 960 family of architectures. In that \c | |
306 | .B ld\c | |
307 | \& configuration, the | |
308 | \c | |
309 | .I architecture\c | |
310 | \& argument is one of the two-letter names identifying | |
311 | members of the 960 family; the option specifies the desired output | |
312 | target, and warns of any incompatible instructions in the input files. | |
313 | It also modifies the linker's search strategy for archive libraries, to | |
314 | support the use of libraries specific to each particular | |
315 | architecture, by including in the search loop names suffixed with the | |
316 | string identifying the architecture. | |
317 | ||
318 | For example, if your \c | |
319 | .B ld\c | |
320 | \& command line included `\|\c | |
321 | .B \-ACA\c | |
322 | \|' as | |
323 | well as `\|\c | |
324 | .B \-ltry\c | |
325 | \|', the linker would look (in its built-in search | |
326 | paths, and in any paths you specify with \c | |
327 | .B \-L\c | |
328 | \&) for a library with | |
329 | the names | |
330 | .sp | |
331 | .br | |
332 | try | |
333 | .br | |
334 | libtry.a | |
335 | .br | |
336 | tryca | |
337 | .br | |
338 | libtryca.a | |
339 | .br | |
340 | .sp | |
341 | ||
342 | The first two possibilities would be considered in any event; the last | |
343 | two are due to the use of `\|\c | |
344 | .B \-ACA\c | |
345 | \|'. | |
346 | ||
347 | Future releases of \c | |
348 | .B ld\c | |
349 | \& may support similar functionality for | |
350 | other architecture families. | |
351 | ||
352 | You can meaningfully use \c | |
353 | .B \-A\c | |
354 | \& more than once on a command line, if | |
355 | an architecture family allows combination of target architectures; each | |
356 | use will add another pair of name variants to search for when \c | |
357 | .B \-l | |
358 | specifies a library. | |
359 | ||
360 | .TP | |
361 | .BI "\-b " "input-format" | |
362 | Specify the binary format for input object files that follow this option | |
363 | on the command line. You don't usually need to specify this, as | |
364 | \c | |
365 | .B ld\c | |
366 | \& is configured to expect as a default input format the most | |
367 | usual format on each machine. \c | |
368 | .I input-format\c | |
369 | \& is a text string, the | |
370 | name of a particular format supported by the BFD libraries. | |
371 | \c | |
372 | .B \-format \c | |
373 | .I input-format\c | |
374 | \&\c | |
375 | \& has the same effect, as does the script command | |
376 | .BR TARGET . | |
377 | ||
378 | You may want to use this option if you are linking files with an unusual | |
379 | binary format. You can also use \c | |
380 | .B \-b\c | |
381 | \& to switch formats explicitly (when | |
382 | linking object files of different formats), by including | |
383 | \c | |
384 | .B \-b \c | |
385 | .I input-format\c | |
386 | \&\c | |
387 | \& before each group of object files in a | |
388 | particular format. | |
389 | ||
390 | The default format is taken from the environment variable | |
391 | .B GNUTARGET\c | |
392 | \&. You can also define the input | |
393 | format from a script, using the command \c | |
394 | .B TARGET\c | |
395 | \&. | |
396 | ||
397 | .TP | |
398 | .B \-Bstatic | |
399 | Do not link against shared libraries. This is only meaningful on | |
400 | platforms for which shared libraries are supported. | |
401 | ||
402 | .TP | |
403 | .B \-Bdynamic | |
404 | Link against dynamic libraries. This is only meaningful on platforms | |
405 | for which shared libraries are supported. This option is normally the | |
406 | default on such platforms. | |
407 | ||
408 | .TP | |
409 | .B \-Bsymbolic | |
410 | When creating a shared library, bind references to global symbols to | |
411 | the definition within the shared library, if any. Normally, it is | |
412 | possible for a program linked against a shared library to override the | |
413 | definition within the shared library. This option is only meaningful | |
414 | on ELF platforms which support shared libraries. | |
415 | ||
416 | .TP | |
417 | .BI "\-c " "commandfile" | |
418 | Directs \c | |
419 | .B ld\c | |
420 | \& to read link commands from the file | |
421 | \c | |
422 | .I commandfile\c | |
423 | \&. These commands will completely override \c | |
424 | .B ld\c | |
425 | \&'s | |
426 | default link format (rather than adding to it); \c | |
427 | .I commandfile\c | |
428 | \& must | |
429 | specify everything necessary to describe the target format. | |
430 | ||
431 | ||
432 | You may also include a script of link commands directly in the command | |
433 | line by bracketing it between `\|\c | |
434 | .B {\c | |
435 | \|' and `\|\c | |
436 | .B }\c | |
437 | \|' characters. | |
438 | ||
439 | .TP | |
440 | .B \-\-cref | |
441 | Output a cross reference table. If a linker map file is being | |
442 | generated, the cross reference table is printed to the map file. | |
443 | Otherwise, it is printed on the standard output. | |
444 | ||
445 | .TP | |
446 | .B \-d | |
447 | .TP | |
448 | .B \-dc | |
449 | .TP | |
450 | .B \-dp | |
451 | These three options are equivalent; multiple forms are supported for | |
452 | compatibility with other linkers. Use any of them to make \c | |
453 | .B ld | |
454 | assign space to common symbols even if a relocatable output file is | |
455 | specified (\c | |
456 | .B \-r\c | |
457 | \&). The script command | |
458 | \c | |
459 | .B FORCE_COMMON_ALLOCATION\c | |
460 | \& has the same effect. | |
461 | ||
462 | .TP | |
176355da | 463 | .BI "-defsym " "symbol" "\fR=\fP" expression |
252b5132 RH |
464 | Create a global symbol in the output file, containing the absolute |
465 | address given by \c | |
466 | .I expression\c | |
467 | \&. You may use this option as many | |
468 | times as necessary to define multiple symbols in the command line. A | |
469 | limited form of arithmetic is supported for the \c | |
470 | .I expression\c | |
471 | \& in this | |
472 | context: you may give a hexadecimal constant or the name of an existing | |
473 | symbol, or use \c | |
474 | .B +\c | |
475 | \& and \c | |
476 | .B \-\c | |
477 | \& to add or subtract hexadecimal | |
478 | constants or symbols. If you need more elaborate expressions, consider | |
479 | using the linker command language from a script. | |
480 | ||
481 | .TP | |
482 | .B \-\-demangle | |
483 | .TP | |
484 | .B \-\-no\-demangle | |
485 | These options control whether to demangle symbol names in error | |
486 | messages and other output. When the linker is told to demangle, it | |
487 | tries to present symbol names in a readable fashion: it strips leading | |
488 | underscores if they are used by the object file format, and converts | |
489 | C++ mangled symbol names into user readable names. The linker will | |
490 | demangle by default unless the environment variable | |
491 | .B COLLECT_NO_DEMANGLE | |
492 | is set. These options may be used to override the default. | |
493 | ||
494 | .TP | |
495 | .BI "-e " "entry"\c | |
496 | \& | |
497 | Use \c | |
498 | .I entry\c | |
499 | \& as the explicit symbol for beginning execution of your | |
500 | program, rather than the default entry point. See the `\|\c | |
501 | .B ld\c | |
502 | \|' entry in `\|\c | |
503 | .B info\c | |
504 | \|' for a | |
505 | discussion of defaults and other ways of specifying the | |
506 | entry point. | |
507 | ||
508 | .TP | |
509 | .B \-embedded\-relocs | |
510 | This option is only meaningful when linking MIPS embedded PIC code, | |

689 | .TP | |
690 | .B \-no\-keep\-memory | |
691 | The linker normally optimizes for speed over memory usage by caching | |

695 | memory space while linking a large executable. | |

698 | .B \-no\-warn\-mismatch | |
699 | Normally the linker will give an error if you try to link together | |
700 | input files that are mismatched for some reason, perhaps because they | |
701 | have been compiled for different processors or for different | |
702 | endiannesses. This option tells the linker that it should silently | |
703 | permit such possible errors. This option should only be used with | |

753 | ||
754 | .TP | |
755 | .B \-relax | |
756 | An option with machine dependent effects. Currently this option is only | |
757 | supported on the H8/300. | |
758 | ||
759 | On some platforms, use this option to perform global optimizations that | |
760 | become possible when the linker resolves addressing in your program, such | |
761 | as relaxing address modes and synthesizing new instructions in the | |
762 | output object file. | |

794 | .B \-rpath\ \fIdirectory | |
795 | Add a directory to the runtime library search path. This is used when | |
796 | linking an ELF executable with shared objects. All | |
797 | .B \-rpath | |
798 | arguments are concatenated and passed to the runtime linker, which uses | |
799 | them to locate shared objects at runtime. The | |
800 | .B \-rpath | |
801 | option is also used when locating shared objects which are needed by | |
802 | shared objects explicitly included in the link; see the description of | |
803 | the | |
804 | .B \-rpath\-link | |
805 | option. If | |
806 | .B \-rpath | |
807 | is not used when linking an ELF executable, the contents of the | |
808 | environment variable | |
809 | .B LD_RUN_PATH | |
810 | will be used if it is defined. | |
811 | ||
812 | The | |
813 | .B \-rpath | |
814 | option may also be used on SunOS. By default, on SunOS, the linker | |
815 | will form a runtime search path out of all the | |
816 | .B \-L | |
817 | options it is given. If a | |
818 | .B \-rpath | |
819 | option is used, the runtime search path will be formed exclusively | |
820 | using the | |
821 | .B \-rpath | |
822 | options, ignoring | |
823 | the | |
824 | .B \-L | |
825 | options. This can be useful when using gcc, which adds many | |
826 | .B \-L | |
827 | options which may be on NFS mounted filesystems. | |
828 | ||
829 | .TP | |
830 | .B \-rpath\-link\ \fIdirectory | |
831 | When using ELF or SunOS, one shared library may require another. This | |
832 | happens when an | |
833 | .B ld\ \-shared | |
834 | link includes a shared library as one of the input files. | |
835 | ||
836 | When the linker encounters such a dependency when doing a non-shared, | |
837 | non-relocateable link, it will automatically try to locate the required | |
838 | shared library and include it in the link, if it is not included | |
839 | explicitly. In such a case, the | |
840 | .B \-rpath\-link | |
841 | option specifies the first set of directories to search. The | |
842 | .B \-rpath\-link | |
843 | option may specify a sequence of directory names either by specifying | |
844 | a list of names separated by colons, or by appearing multiple times. | |
845 | ||
846 | If the required shared library is not found, the linker will issue a | |
847 | warning and continue with the link. | |
848 | ||
849 | .TP | |
850 | .B \-S | |
851 | Omits debugger symbol information (but not all symbols) from the output file. | |
852 | ||

855 | Omits all symbol information from the output file. | |
856 | ||
857 | .TP | |
858 | .B \-shared | |
859 | Create a shared library. This is currently only supported on ELF and | |
860 | SunOS platforms (on SunOS it is not required, as the linker will | |
861 | automatically create a shared library when there are undefined symbols | |
862 | and the | |
863 | .B \-e | |
864 | option is not used). | |
865 | ||
866 | .TP | |
867 | .B \-sort\-common | |
868 | Normally, when | |
869 | .B ld | |
870 | places the global common symbols in the appropriate output sections, | |
871 | it sorts them by size. First come all the one byte symbols, then all | |
872 | the two bytes, then all the four bytes, and then everything else. | |
873 | This is to prevent gaps between symbols due to | |
874 | alignment constraints. This option disables that sorting. | |
875 | ||
876 | .TP | |
877 | .B \-split\-by\-reloc\ \fIcount | |
878 | Trys to creates extra sections in the output file so that no single | |
879 | output section in the file contains more than | |
880 | .I count | |
881 | relocations. | |
882 | This is useful when generating huge relocatable for downloading into | |
883 | certain real time kernels with the COFF object file format; since COFF | |
884 | cannot represent more than 65535 relocations in a single section. | |
885 | Note that this will fail to work with object file formats which do not | |
886 | support arbitrary sections. The linker will not split up individual | |
887 | input sections for redistribution, so if a single input section | |
888 | contains more than | |
889 | .I count | |
890 | relocations one output section will contain that many relocations. | |
891 | ||
892 | .TP | |
893 | .B \-split\-by\-file | |
894 | Similar to | |
