Unfortunately some consumers of our .o files produced with -r expect only one section symbol per section. That is true of at least of go's own linker. Combining them is a somewhat convoluted process. We have to create a symbol for every section since we don't know which ones will be needed. The relocation sections also have to be written first to handle the Elf_Rel addend. I did consider a completely different approach: We could remove the -r special case of relocation sections when reading. We would instead have a copyRelocs function that is used instead of scanRelocs. It would create a DynamicReloc for each relocation and a RelocationSection for each input relocation section. A complication of such change is that DynamicReloc would have to take a section index and a input section instead of a symbol since with -emit-relocs some DynamicReloc would hold relocations referring to the dynamic symbol table and other to the static symbol table. That would be a pretty big change, and if we do it it is probably better to do it as a refactoring. llvm-svn: 294816 |
