<h4 class="subsection">3.4.2 Commands Dealing with Files</h4>
|
|
<a name="index-linker-script-file-commands"></a>
|
|
<p>Several linker script commands deal with files.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<dl compact="compact">
|
|
<dt><code>INCLUDE <var>filename</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd><a name="index-INCLUDE-filename"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-including-a-linker-script"></a>
|
|
<p>Include the linker script <var>filename</var> at this point. The file will
|
|
be searched for in the current directory, and in any directory specified
|
|
with the <samp>-L</samp> option. You can nest calls to <code>INCLUDE</code> up to
|
|
10 levels deep.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>You can place <code>INCLUDE</code> directives at the top level, in <code>MEMORY</code> or
|
|
<code>SECTIONS</code> commands, or in output section descriptions.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>INPUT(<var>file</var>, <var>file</var>, …)</code></dt>
|
|
<dt><code>INPUT(<var>file</var> <var>file</var> …)</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><a name="index-INPUT_0028files_0029"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-input-files-in-linker-scripts"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-input-object-files-in-linker-scripts"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-linker-script-input-object-files"></a>
|
|
<p>The <code>INPUT</code> command directs the linker to include the named files
|
|
in the link, as though they were named on the command line.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For example, if you always want to include <samp>subr.o</samp> any time you do
|
|
a link, but you can’t be bothered to put it on every link command line,
|
|
then you can put ‘<samp>INPUT (subr.o)</samp>’ in your linker script.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>In fact, if you like, you can list all of your input files in the linker
|
|
script, and then invoke the linker with nothing but a ‘<samp>-T</samp>’ option.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>In case a <em>sysroot prefix</em> is configured, and the filename starts
|
|
with the ‘<samp>/</samp>’ character, and the script being processed was
|
|
located inside the <em>sysroot prefix</em>, the filename will be looked
|
|
for in the <em>sysroot prefix</em>. Otherwise, the linker will try to
|
|
open the file in the current directory. If it is not found, the
|
|
linker will search through the archive library search path.
|
|
The <em>sysroot prefix</em> can also be forced by specifying <code>=</code>
|
|
as the first character in the filename path, or prefixing the filename
|
|
path with <code>$SYSROOT</code>. See also the description of ‘<samp>-L</samp>’ in
|
|
<a href="Options.html#Options">Command-line Options</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If you use ‘<samp>INPUT (-l<var>file</var>)</samp>’, <code>ld</code> will transform the
|
|
name to <code>lib<var>file</var>.a</code>, as with the command-line argument
|
|
‘<samp>-l</samp>’.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>When you use the <code>INPUT</code> command in an implicit linker script, the
|
|
files will be included in the link at the point at which the linker
|
|
script file is included. This can affect archive searching.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>GROUP(<var>file</var>, <var>file</var>, …)</code></dt>
|
|
<dt><code>GROUP(<var>file</var> <var>file</var> …)</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><a name="index-GROUP_0028files_0029"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-grouping-input-files"></a>
|
|
<p>The <code>GROUP</code> command is like <code>INPUT</code>, except that the named
|
|
files should all be archives, and they are searched repeatedly until no
|
|
new undefined references are created. See the description of ‘<samp>-(</samp>’
|
|
in <a href="Options.html#Options">Command-line Options</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>AS_NEEDED(<var>file</var>, <var>file</var>, …)</code></dt>
|
|
<dt><code>AS_NEEDED(<var>file</var> <var>file</var> …)</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><a name="index-AS_005fNEEDED_0028files_0029"></a>
|
|
<p>This construct can appear only inside of the <code>INPUT</code> or <code>GROUP</code>
|
|
commands, among other filenames. The files listed will be handled
|
|
as if they appear directly in the <code>INPUT</code> or <code>GROUP</code> commands,
|
|
with the exception of ELF shared libraries, that will be added only
|
|
when they are actually needed. This construct essentially enables
|
|
<samp>--as-needed</samp> option for all the files listed inside of it
|
|
and restores previous <samp>--as-needed</samp> resp. <samp>--no-as-needed</samp>
|
|
setting afterwards.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>OUTPUT(<var>filename</var>)</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><a name="index-OUTPUT_0028filename_0029"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-output-file-name-in-linker-script"></a>
|
|
<p>The <code>OUTPUT</code> command names the output file. Using
|
|
<code>OUTPUT(<var>filename</var>)</code> in the linker script is exactly like using
|
|
‘<samp>-o <var>filename</var></samp>’ on the command line (see <a href="Options.html#Options">Command
|
|
Line Options</a>). If both are used, the command-line option takes
|
|
precedence.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>You can use the <code>OUTPUT</code> command to define a default name for the
|
|
output file other than the usual default of <samp>a.out</samp>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>SEARCH_DIR(<var>path</var>)</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><a name="index-SEARCH_005fDIR_0028path_0029"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-library-search-path-in-linker-script"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-archive-search-path-in-linker-script"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-search-path-in-linker-script"></a>
|
|
<p>The <code>SEARCH_DIR</code> command adds <var>path</var> to the list of paths where
|
|
<code>ld</code> looks for archive libraries. Using
|
|
<code>SEARCH_DIR(<var>path</var>)</code> is exactly like using ‘<samp>-L <var>path</var></samp>’
|
|
on the command line (see <a href="Options.html#Options">Command-line Options</a>). If both
|
|
are used, then the linker will search both paths. Paths specified using
|
|
the command-line option are searched first.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>STARTUP(<var>filename</var>)</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><a name="index-STARTUP_0028filename_0029"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-first-input-file"></a>
|
|
<p>The <code>STARTUP</code> command is just like the <code>INPUT</code> command, except
|
|
that <var>filename</var> will become the first input file to be linked, as
|
|
though it were specified first on the command line. This may be useful
|
|
when using a system in which the entry point is always the start of the
|
|
first file.
