<a name="index-bug-criteria"></a>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If you are not sure whether you have found a bug, here are some guidelines:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li> <a name="index-fatal-signal"></a>
|
||
|
|
<a name="index-linker-crash"></a>
|
||
|
|
<a name="index-crash-of-linker"></a>
|
||
|
|
If the linker gets a fatal signal, for any input whatever, that is a
|
||
|
|
<code>ld</code> bug. Reliable linkers never crash.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</li><li> <a name="index-error-on-valid-input"></a>
|
||
|
|
If <code>ld</code> produces an error message for valid input, that is a bug.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</li><li> <a name="index-invalid-input"></a>
|
||
|
|
If <code>ld</code> does not produce an error message for invalid input, that
|
||
|
|
may be a bug. In the general case, the linker can not verify that
|
||
|
|
object files are correct.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</li><li> If you are an experienced user of linkers, your suggestions for
|
||
|
|
improvement of <code>ld</code> are welcome in any case.
|
||
|
|
</li></ul>
