--- Comment #7 from Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> --- Since there seems to be enough interest in this bug for people to actually write patches, here is what I think would work and be accepted: In lang_size_sections_1, near the comment "A backwards move of dot", set a static global var whenever seeing "dot < last->vma". This should flag all cases where overlays are used without false triggers. Modify lang_check_section_addresses to check for vma overlap when no overlays are detected. - Use IGNORE_SECTION again to choose interesting sections (the attached patch was wrong in treatment of .tbss) - In the existing lma checking loop, ignore !SEC_LOAD sections. Some rewriting might be necessary to elegantly handle the case of the first section being !SEC_LOAD. - Write another loop to check vmas if overlays not present -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
