--- Comment #9 from Fangrui Song <i at maskray dot me> --- I don't require the support for non power-of-2 alignment. I just want to say --set-section-alignment .foo=8 => sh_addralign=256 is counterintuitive. It is not what readelf -S displays. (objdump -h displays it as `2**8`. The `**` at least makes it clear that an exponent is involved.) > I think not all BFD targets support arbitrary alignment, some may only > support powers of 2. We can simply reject non power-of-2 alignment when parsing the command line option, like what you've done when there is no string on the right of `=` > The ".align" directive also works this way (at least on ARM). I know that the .align directive is in powers of 2 on ARM/AArch64/MIPS/PowerPC, but it is in bytes on x86, Sparc and System z. I don't know how this inconsistency came, .balign and .p2align may be better. -- 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
