<h3 class="section">2.1 Command-line Options</h3>
|
|
|
|
<a name="index-command-line"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-options"></a>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The linker supports a plethora of command-line options, but in actual
|
|
practice few of them are used in any particular context.
|
|
<a name="index-standard-Unix-system"></a>
|
|
For instance, a frequent use of <code>ld</code> is to link standard Unix
|
|
object files on a standard, supported Unix system. On such a system, to
|
|
link a file <code>hello.o</code>:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">ld -o <var>output</var> /lib/crt0.o hello.o -lc
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>This tells <code>ld</code> to produce a file called <var>output</var> as the
|
|
result of linking the file <code>/lib/crt0.o</code> with <code>hello.o</code> and
|
|
the library <code>libc.a</code>, which will come from the standard search
|
|
directories. (See the discussion of the ‘<samp>-l</samp>’ option below.)
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Some of the command-line options to <code>ld</code> may be specified at any
|
|
point in the command line. However, options which refer to files, such
|
|
as ‘<samp>-l</samp>’ or ‘<samp>-T</samp>’, cause the file to be read at the point at
|
|
which the option appears in the command line, relative to the object
|
|
files and other file options. Repeating non-file options with a
|
|
different argument will either have no further effect, or override prior
|
|
occurrences (those further to the left on the command line) of that
|
|
option. Options which may be meaningfully specified more than once are
|
|
noted in the descriptions below.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<a name="index-object-files"></a>
|
|
<p>Non-option arguments are object files or archives which are to be linked
|
|
together. They may follow, precede, or be mixed in with command-line
|
|
options, except that an object file argument may not be placed between
|
|
an option and its argument.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Usually the linker is invoked with at least one object file, but you can
|
|
specify other forms of binary input files using ‘<samp>-l</samp>’, ‘<samp>-R</samp>’,
|
|
and the script command language. If <em>no</em> binary input files at all
|
|
are specified, the linker does not produce any output, and issues the
|
|
message ‘<samp>No input files</samp>’.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If the linker cannot recognize the format of an object file, it will
|
|
assume that it is a linker script. A script specified in this way
|
|
augments the main linker script used for the link (either the default
|
|
linker script or the one specified by using ‘<samp>-T</samp>’). This feature
|
|
permits the linker to link against a file which appears to be an object
|
|
or an archive, but actually merely defines some symbol values, or uses
|
|
<code>INPUT</code> or <code>GROUP</code> to load other objects. Specifying a
|
|
script in this way merely augments the main linker script, with the
|
|
extra commands placed after the main script; use the ‘<samp>-T</samp>’ option
|
|
to replace the default linker script entirely, but note the effect of
|
|
the <code>INSERT</code> command. See <a href="Scripts.html#Scripts">Scripts</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For options whose names are a single letter,
|
|
option arguments must either follow the option letter without intervening
|
|
whitespace, or be given as separate arguments immediately following the
|
|
option that requires them.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For options whose names are multiple letters, either one dash or two can
|
|
precede the option name; for example, ‘<samp>-trace-symbol</samp>’ and
|
|
‘<samp>--trace-symbol</samp>’ are equivalent. Note—there is one exception to
|
|
this rule. Multiple letter options that start with a lower case ’o’ can
|
|
only be preceded by two dashes. This is to reduce confusion with the
|
|
‘<samp>-o</samp>’ option. So for example ‘<samp>-omagic</samp>’ sets the output file
|
|
name to ‘<samp>magic</samp>’ whereas ‘<samp>--omagic</samp>’ sets the NMAGIC flag on the
|
|
output.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Arguments to multiple-letter options must either be separated from the
|
|
option name by an equals sign, or be given as separate arguments
|
|
immediately following the option that requires them. For example,
|
|
‘<samp>--trace-symbol foo</samp>’ and ‘<samp>--trace-symbol=foo</samp>’ are equivalent.
|
|
Unique abbreviations of the names of multiple-letter options are
|
|
accepted.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Note—if the linker is being invoked indirectly, via a compiler driver
|
|
(e.g. ‘<samp>gcc</samp>’) then all the linker command-line options should be
|
|
prefixed by ‘<samp>-Wl,</samp>’ (or whatever is appropriate for the particular
|
|
compiler driver) like this:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> gcc -Wl,--start-group foo.o bar.o -Wl,--end-group
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is important, because otherwise the compiler driver program may
|
|
silently drop the linker options, resulting in a bad link. Confusion
|
|
may also arise when passing options that require values through a
|
|
driver, as the use of a space between option and argument acts as
|
|
a separator, and causes the driver to pass only the option to the linker
|
|
and the argument to the compiler. In this case, it is simplest to use
|
|
the joined forms of both single- and multiple-letter options, such as:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> gcc foo.o bar.o -Wl,-eENTRY -Wl,-Map=a.map
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Here is a table of the generic command-line switches accepted by the GNU
|
|
linker:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<dl compact="compact">
|
|
<dt><code>@<var>file</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Read command-line options from <var>file</var>. The options read are
|
|
inserted in place of the original @<var>file</var> option. If <var>file</var>
|
|
does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated
|
|
literally, and not removed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Options in <var>file</var> are separated by whitespace. A whitespace
|
|
character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire
|
|
option in either single or double quotes. Any character (including a
|
|
backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included
|
|
with a backslash. The <var>file</var> may itself contain additional
|
|
@<var>file</var> options; any such options will be processed recursively.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<a name="index-_002da-keyword"></a>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>-a <var>keyword</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>This option is supported for HP/UX compatibility. The <var>keyword</var>
|
|
argument must be one of the strings ‘<samp>archive</samp>’, ‘<samp>shared</samp>’, or
|
|
‘<samp>default</samp>’. ‘<samp>-aarchive</samp>’ is functionally equivalent to
|
|
‘<samp>-Bstatic</samp>’, and the other two keywords are functionally equivalent
|
|
to ‘<samp>-Bdynamic</samp>’. This option may be used any number of times.
|
|
</p>

<a name="index-_002d_002daudit-AUDITLIB"></a>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>--audit <var>AUDITLIB</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Adds <var>AUDITLIB</var> to the <code>DT_AUDIT</code> entry of the dynamic section.
|
|
<var>AUDITLIB</var> is not checked for existence, nor will it use the DT_SONAME

|
|
will contain a colon separated list of audit interfaces to use. If the linker
|
|
finds an object with an audit entry while searching for shared libraries,
|
|
it will add a corresponding <code>DT_DEPAUDIT</code> entry in the output file.
|
|
This option is only meaningful on ELF platforms supporting the rtld-audit

|
interface.

<dd><p><code>ld</code> may be configured to support more than one kind of object

file. If your <code>ld</code> is configured this way, you can use the
|
|
‘<samp>-b</samp>’ option to specify the binary format for input object files
|
|
that follow this option on the command line. Even when <code>ld</code> is
|
|
configured to support alternative object formats, you don’t usually need
|
|
to specify this, as <code>ld</code> should be configured to expect as a
|
|
default input format the most usual format on each machine.
|
|
<var>input-format</var> is a text string, the name of a particular format
|
|
supported by the BFD libraries. (You can list the available binary
|
|
formats with ‘<samp>objdump -i</samp>’.)
|
|
See <a href="BFD.html#BFD">BFD</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>You may want to use this option if you are linking files with an unusual
|
|
binary format. You can also use ‘<samp>-b</samp>’ to switch formats explicitly (when
|
|
linking object files of different formats), by including
|
|
‘<samp>-b <var>input-format</var></samp>’ before each group of object files in a
|
|
particular format.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The default format is taken from the environment variable
|
|
<code>GNUTARGET</code>.
|
|
See <a href="Environment.html#Environment">Environment</a>.
|
|
You can also define the input format from a script, using the command
|
|
<code>TARGET</code>;

<li> A shared library specified at link time may not be the same as the one

that is available at load time, so the symbol might actually be

resolvable at load time.
|

</li><li> There are some operating systems, eg BeOS and HPPA, where undefined

symbols in shared libraries are normal.
|
|
|

<p>The BeOS kernel for example patches shared libraries at load time to
|
|
select whichever function is most appropriate for the current

architecture. This is used, for example, to dynamically select an

appropriate memset function.

|
libraries:
|
|
</p><ol>
|
|
<li> Any directories specified by <samp>-rpath-link</samp> options.
|
|
</li><li> Any directories specified by <samp>-rpath</samp> options. The difference
|
|
between <samp>-rpath</samp> and <samp>-rpath-link</samp> is that directories
|
|
specified by <samp>-rpath</samp> options are included in the executable and
|
|
used at runtime, whereas the <samp>-rpath-link</samp> option is only effective
|
|
at link time. Searching <samp>-rpath</samp> in this way is only supported
|
|
by native linkers and cross linkers which have been configured with
|
|
the <samp>--with-sysroot</samp> option.
|
|
</li><li> On an ELF system, for native linkers, if the <samp>-rpath</samp> and
|
|
<samp>-rpath-link</samp> options were not used, search the contents of the
|
|
environment variable <code>LD_RUN_PATH</code>.
|
|
</li><li> On SunOS, if the <samp>-rpath</samp> option was not used, search any
|
|
directories specified using <samp>-L</samp> options.
|
|
</li><li> For a native linker, search the contents of the environment
|
|
variable <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code>.
|
|
</li><li> For a native ELF linker, the directories in <code>DT_RUNPATH</code> or
|
|
<code>DT_RPATH</code> of a shared library are searched for shared
|
|
libraries needed by it. The <code>DT_RPATH</code> entries are ignored if
|
|
<code>DT_RUNPATH</code> entries exist.
|
|
</li><li> The default directories, normally <samp>/lib</samp> and <samp>/usr/lib</samp>.
|
|
</li><li> For a native linker on an ELF system, if the file <samp>/etc/ld.so.conf</samp>
|
|
exists, the list of directories found in that file.
|
|
</li></ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the required shared library is not found, the linker will issue a

warning and continue with the link.

This is only meaningful for certain processors, such as the Alpha.
|

Specifically, some processors put large-valued constants in a special
|
|
section. A special register (the global pointer) points into the middle
|
|
of this section, so that constants can be loaded efficiently via a
|
|
base-register relative addressing mode. Since the offset in
|
|
base-register relative mode is fixed and relatively small (e.g., 16
|
|
bits), this limits the maximum size of the constant pool. Thus, in
|
|
large programs, it is often necessary to use multiple global pointer
|
|
values in order to be able to address all possible constants. This
|
|
option causes a warning to be issued whenever this case occurs.

<p>Two notes when using this option from gcc: First, gcc doesn’t know

Second, don’t forget to use <samp>-Wl,-no-whole-archive</samp> after your

<dd><p>Use a wrapper function for <var>symbol</var>. Any undefined reference to

|
<var>symbol</var>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This can be used to provide a wrapper for a system function. The
|
|
wrapper function should be called <code>__wrap_<var>symbol</var></code>. If it
|
|
wishes to call the system function, it should call
|
|
<code>__real_<var>symbol</var></code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Here is a trivial example:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">void *
|
|
__wrap_malloc (size_t c)
|
|
{
|
|
printf ("malloc called with %zu\n", c);
|
|
return __real_malloc (c);
|
|
}
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you link other code with this file using <samp>--wrap malloc</samp>, then
|
|
all calls to <code>malloc</code> will call the function <code>__wrap_malloc</code>
|
|
instead. The call to <code>__real_malloc</code> in <code>__wrap_malloc</code> will
|
|
call the real <code>malloc</code> function.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>You may wish to provide a <code>__real_malloc</code> function as well, so that
|
|
links without the <samp>--wrap</samp> option will succeed. If you do this,
|
|
you should not put the definition of <code>__real_malloc</code> in the same
|
|
file as <code>__wrap_malloc</code>; if you do, the assembler may resolve the
|
|
call before the linker has a chance to wrap it to <code>malloc</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Only undefined references are replaced by the linker. So, translation unit
|
|
internal references to <var>symbol</var> are not resolved to
|
|
<code>__wrap_<var>symbol</var></code>. In the next example, the call to <code>f</code> in
|
|
<code>g</code> is not resolved to <code>__wrap_f</code>.

<h4 class="subsection">2.1.1 Options Specific to i386 PE Targets</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The i386 PE linker supports the <samp>-shared</samp> option, which causes
|
|
the output to be a dynamically linked library (DLL) instead of a
|
|
normal executable. You should name the output <code>*.dll</code> when you
|
|
use this option. In addition, the linker fully supports the standard
|
|
<code>*.def</code> files, which may be specified on the linker command line
|
|
like an object file (in fact, it should precede archives it exports
|
|
symbols from, to ensure that they get linked in, just like a normal
|
|
object file).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>In addition to the options common to all targets, the i386 PE linker
|
|
support additional command-line options that are specific to the i386
|
|
PE target. Options that take values may be separated from their
|
|
values by either a space or an equals sign.

|

<dd><p>The PE variants of the COFF object format add an extension that permits
|
|
the use of section names longer than eight characters, the normal limit
|
|
for COFF. By default, these names are only allowed in object files, as
|
|
fully-linked executable images do not carry the COFF string table required
|
|
to support the longer names. As a GNU extension, it is possible to
|
|
allow their use in executable images as well, or to (probably pointlessly!)
|
|
disallow it in object files, by using these two options. Executable images
|
|
generated with these long section names are slightly non-standard, carrying
|
|
as they do a string table, and may generate confusing output when examined
|
|
with non-GNU PE-aware tools, such as file viewers and dumpers. However,
|
|
GDB relies on the use of PE long section names to find Dwarf-2 debug
|
|
information sections in an executable image at runtime, and so if neither
|
|
option is specified on the command-line, <code>ld</code> will enable long
|
|
section names, overriding the default and technically correct behaviour,
|
|
when it finds the presence of debug information while linking an executable
|
|
image and not stripping symbols.

undefined symbol <code>_foo</code> might be linked to the function

|
|
<p>The following remarks pertain to the original implementation of the
|
|
feature and are obsolete nowadays for Cygwin and MinGW targets.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Note: Use of the ’auto-import’ extension will cause the text section
|
|
of the image file to be made writable. This does not conform to the
|
|
PE-COFF format specification published by Microsoft.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Note - use of the ’auto-import’ extension will also cause read only
|
|
data which would normally be placed into the .rdata section to be
|
|
placed into the .data section instead. This is in order to work
|
|
around a problem with consts that is described here:
|
|
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-09/msg01101.html
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Using ’auto-import’ generally will ’just work’ – but sometimes you may
|
|
see this message:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>"variable ’<var>’ can’t be auto-imported. Please read the
|
|
documentation for ld’s <code>--enable-auto-import</code> for details."
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This message occurs when some (sub)expression accesses an address
|
|
ultimately given by the sum of two constants (Win32 import tables only
|
|
allow one). Instances where this may occur include accesses to member
|
|
fields of struct variables imported from a DLL, as well as using a
|
|
constant index into an array variable imported from a DLL. Any
|
|
multiword variable (arrays, structs, long long, etc) may trigger
|
|
this error condition. However, regardless of the exact data type
|
|
of the offending exported variable, ld will always detect it, issue
|
|
the warning, and exit.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>There are several ways to address this difficulty, regardless of the
|
|
data type of the exported variable:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>One way is to use –enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc switch. This leaves the task
|
|
of adjusting references in your client code for runtime environment, so
|
|
this method works only when runtime environment supports this feature.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>A second solution is to force one of the ’constants’ to be a variable –
|
|
that is, unknown and un-optimizable at compile time. For arrays,
|
|
there are two possibilities: a) make the indexee (the array’s address)
|
|
a variable, or b) make the ’constant’ index a variable. Thus:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">extern type extern_array[];
|
|
extern_array[1] -->
|
|
{ volatile type *t=extern_array; t[1] }
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>or
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">extern type extern_array[];
|
|
extern_array[1] -->
|
|
{ volatile int t=1; extern_array[t] }
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>For structs (and most other multiword data types) the only option
|
|
is to make the struct itself (or the long long, or the ...) variable:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">extern struct s extern_struct;
|
|
extern_struct.field -->
|
|
{ volatile struct s *t=&extern_struct; t->field }
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>or
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">extern long long extern_ll;
|
|
extern_ll -->
|
|
{ volatile long long * local_ll=&extern_ll; *local_ll }
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>A third method of dealing with this difficulty is to abandon
|
|
’auto-import’ for the offending symbol and mark it with
|
|
<code>__declspec(dllimport)</code>. However, in practice that
|
|
requires using compile-time #defines to indicate whether you are
|
|
building a DLL, building client code that will link to the DLL, or
|
|
merely building/linking to a static library. In making the choice
|
|
between the various methods of resolving the ’direct address with
|
|
constant offset’ problem, you should consider typical real-world usage:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Original:
|
|
</p><div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">--foo.h
|
|
extern int arr[];
|
|
--foo.c
|
|
#include "foo.h"
|
|
void main(int argc, char **argv){
|
|
printf("%d\n",arr[1]);
|
|
}
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Solution 1:
|
|
</p><div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">--foo.h
|
|
extern int arr[];
|
|
--foo.c
|
|
#include "foo.h"
|
|
void main(int argc, char **argv){
|
|
/* This workaround is for win32 and cygwin; do not "optimize" */
|
|
volatile int *parr = arr;
|
|
printf("%d\n",parr[1]);
|
|
}
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Solution 2:
|
|
</p><div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">--foo.h
|
|
/* Note: auto-export is assumed (no __declspec(dllexport)) */
|
|
#if (defined(_WIN32) || defined(__CYGWIN__)) && \
|
|
!(defined(FOO_BUILD_DLL) || defined(FOO_STATIC))
|
|
#define FOO_IMPORT __declspec(dllimport)
|
|
#else
|
|
#define FOO_IMPORT
|
|
#endif
|
|
extern FOO_IMPORT int arr[];
|
|
--foo.c
|
|
#include "foo.h"
|
|
void main(int argc, char **argv){
|
|
printf("%d\n",arr[1]);
|
|
}
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>A fourth way to avoid this problem is to re-code your
|
|
library to use a functional interface rather than a data interface
|
|
for the offending variables (e.g. set_foo() and get_foo() accessor
|
|
functions).

It sets the maximum size of a group of input sections that can

stub sections after their branches, while a positive value allows stub

‘<samp>1</samp>’ or ‘<samp>-1</samp>’ indicate that the
