This file contains a summary of the bugs/features/inconsistencies
|
|
Robbert and Ed found while making the linker usable for the 68000 and amoeba.
|
|
I (Ceriel Jacobs) took the liberty of removing the ones that I fixed from
|
|
this list.

Another problem form the commons:
|
|
1 - Local commons are not handled by led and not produced by as.
|
|
Must, and will be handled by as.
|
|
2 - The commons are allocated at the very end of the first pass, after the
|
|
initialezed data has been allocated in the segments. The order on which
|
|
the commons are allocated seems to be random. That way it is impossible
|
|
to produce a label that is guaranteed to point to the last byte (+1)
|
|
of a segment containing commons.
|
|
The currently used trick is to declare an extra segment after the
|
|
segment containing the commons. The first bytre in this segment
|
|
inmediatly follows the commons and can be used as _end or endbss.
|
|
|
|
The archiver (aal) with the automatic ranlib is buggy.
|
|
The only thing that seems to work at the moment is creation of a fresh
|
|
archive.
|
|
replacing/adding/deleting modules is likely to produce libraries
|
|
with incorrect ranlib entries.
|
|
The major troublemaker seems to be the extra padding byte at the end
|
|
of odd sized modules.
