Re: Rebased : [Patch mach-o 3/3] section directives needed to support GCC


Hi Tristan,

Thanks very much for doing the extra work to make the commits!

I think this matter (not emitting .data and .bss) is really a detail.

Yes, it is .. and I'm happy to leave until it shows as a bug .. or just to apply and be the same as the system tools.

AFAIK, ld is happy if the sections are empty.

OK. I wasn't sure - don't have complete coverage of ld variants here.


Anyway, as Alan has approved your changes, I am ok with them.

... here is the rebased patch anyway …

Last minute minor issue: local variable in obj-macho.c. See below.

I assume that the var might need to become global at the point that we implement parsing for the the c/l switch .. but it might as well be static for now.


done.. and also, as bonus, the seen_objc_ one before.

thanks again,
Iain
