Subject: Re: New: ld: failure depending on order of -l libs What is the bug? The order is significant by design. Uhm. I didn't know that it is significant by design. Well if it is, then I guess there's no bug and you may as well close the ticket. However, may I ask for links for further reading? I can't find anything relevant myself. Thanks! Subject: Re: ld: failure depending on order of -l libs There is a brief explanation in the manual in the section describing --start-group/--end-group. This behavior is not unique to GNU ld, I'm pretty sure if you went back to the original SysV/BSD linker you'd find the same algorithm. That's what I needed, thanks! |
