Re: [PATCH] New --pe-dll-characteristcs switch for PE ld.
Hi Dave, Hi Danny,
The following implements Dave's patch as per Chris's suggestions.
Well I consider this patch to be good but not quite ready for prime
time. This is because of ...
Thanks a bunch for picking this up, Danny. I'll take your patch for a spin
through my autotester and let you know if anything crops up.
My regression tester shows the following new linker testsuite failures
for the arm-epoc-pe, arm-wince-pe, i686-pc-cygwin, i686-pc-mingw2,
mcore-pe and mingw32-pe:
PE-COFF Long section names (disabled)
PE-COFF Long section names (enabled)
PE-COFF Long section names in objects (disabled)
PE-COFF Long section names in objects (enabled)
script [from ld-script/script.exp]
MRI script [from ld-script/script.exp]
MEMORY [from ld-script/script.exp]
Also the i686-pc-cygwin target shows:
.secrel32 [from ld-pe/pe.exp]
weak undefined symbols [from ld-undefined/weak-undef.exp]
All of these fail because of an internal error in the linker. For
example the i686-pc-cygwin target reports:
internal error: aborting at ei386pe.c line 400 in set_pe_name
This really needs to be fixed before the patch can be approved.
Cheers
Nick
