Hi shihhuangti,
I want to know why the linker use such amount memory to put the objs
together? it is possible to be optimized?
Yes, but it would be a lot of work. (Essentially it would mean
rewriting the linker with minimizing memory usage as the main aim). But
... this does suggest an alternative - have you tried using a different
linker ? There are two that I know of that might work for you - the
"gold" linker which is currently under development in the binutils
project and the linker which comes with the elfutils project. (I am not
really involved in the elfutils project so I cannot tell you any more
about their linker). The gold linker can be built from the current
binutils sources by specifying --enable-gold on the configure command
line. Give it a try and see if it helps.
if I doesn't use option "-X -s" when invoking the linker ld, and with
option "-r" the relocated obj file can be generated which has size of 2g
bytes above.
I think this is a bug, am I right?
I don't think so. The problem is that you are dealing with a very big
program and you are attempting to link it on a machine with only a
limited amount of memory.
Cheers
Nick
