Bug ID: 27408
Summary: nm: Have a way to suppress 'no symbols'
Product: binutils
Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: binutils
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: i at maskray dot me
Target Milestone: ---
In https://reviews.llvm.org/D83152 , someone wants to have an llvm-nm option to
suppress 'no symbols' diagnostic when the symbol table is absent. I think this
is an area binutils may likely have an opinion so I am asking here. I can think
of several choices.
* Add --no-warning-for-no-symbols.
macOS libtool has an option named -no_warning_for_no_symbols
* Add --quiet
* Drop 'no symbols' without an option. This has potential risk to make existing
scripts expecting the output unhappy.
nm can also choose to do nothing but promise that it will not intentionally be
incompatible with llvm-nm, i.e. if llvm-nm picks --quiet, nm will not pick
--quiet for other purposes.
