[PATCH] ld: Add support for a new option, -exclude-symbols, in COFF object file directives

Martin Storsjo martin@martin.st
Tue Jul 19 20:33:30 GMT 2022


This maps to the same as ld's --exclude-symbols command line option,
but allowing specifying the option via directives embedded in the
object files instead of passed manually on the command line.
---
I've posted a corresponding patch to LLD in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D130120 - I'd like to have support for it
in both linkers before I'd take the option into use.
