https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197341 Bug ID: 197341 Summary: [exp-run] ld: emit symbols for orphaned ELF sections whose names contain a period Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Ports Framework Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: markj@FreeBSD.org CC: portmgr@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 152570 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=152570&action=edit proposed patch I'd like to make a small enhancement to ld(1) to have it generate symbols for the start and end of ELF sections whose names contain a period. At the moment, ld(1) only does this if the section's name is representable in C, but we'd like to use this feature for a DTrace-related section named ".SUNW_dof". I highly doubt that this change will affect ports in any way since ld(1) only emits these symbols for orphaned sections, but I'd like to request an exp-run just to be sure. This post contains some context on the motivation for the change: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-dtrace/2015-January/000342.html -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
