* GNU ld places non-SHF_ALLOC sections after SHF_ALLOC sections. This has the advantage that the file offsets of a non-SHF_ALLOC cannot be contained in a PT_LOAD. This patch matches the behavior. * For non-SHF_ALLOC non-orphan sections, GNU ld may assign non-zero sh_addr and treat them similar to SHT_NOBITS (not advance location counter). This is an alternative approach to what we have done in D85100. By placing non-SHF_ALLOC sections at the end, we can drop special cases in createSection and findOrphanPos added by D85100. Different from GNU ld, we set sh_addr to 0 for non-SHF_ALLOC sections. 0 arguably is better because non-SHF_ALLOC sections don't appear in the memory image. ELF spec says: > sh_addr - If the section will appear in the memory image of a process, this > member gives the address at which the section's first byte should > reside. Otherwise, the member contains 0. D85100 appeared to take a detour. If we take a combined view on D85100 and this patch, the overall complexity slightly increases (one more 3-line loop) and compatibility with GNU ld improves. The behavior we don't want to match is the special treatment of .symtab .shstrtab .strtab: they can be matched in LLD but not in GNU ld.
