[PATCH v2] ld: Add --no-print-map-discarded option

Faraz Shahbazker fshahbazker@wavecomp.com
Tue Apr 2 19:58:00 GMT 2019


Add a new option to disable the listing of discarded sections
in map file output.  The use case stems from a large application
built with -ffunction-sections --gc-sections where the list of
discarded sections blows up the map file output.  The default
behaviour remains to print discarded sections,  but the new option
allows us to disable it.

ld/
	* NEWS: Mention new option --no-print-map-discarded.
	* ld.h (ld_config_type) <print_map_discarded>: New field.
	* ldlang.c (lang_map): Conditionally output discarded sections
	in map files based on configuration option.
	* ldlex.h (option_values) <OPTION_PRINT_MAP_DISCARDED,
	OPTION_NO_PRINT_MAP_DISCARDED>: New.
	* ldmain.c (main): Enabled print_map_discarded by default.
	* lexsup.c (ld_options): Add new command-line options.
	(parse_args) <OPTION_NO_PRINT_MAP_DISCARDED,
	OPTION_PRINT_MAP_DISCARDED>: New cases.
	* ld.texi: Document new options.
	* testsuite/ld-gc/gc.exp: Add new test.
	* testsuite/ld-gc/skip-map-discarded.s: New file.
	* testsuite/ld-gc/skip-map-discarded.d: New file.
	* testsuite/ld-gc/skip-map-discarded.map: New file.

This is version 2 of a patch posted for review few months back, but not
committed due to pending copyright assignment. I am told that the FSF
copyright assignment for Wave Computing is now in place. Please review
and commit.
