--- Comment #33 from Sourceware Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Jan Beulich <jbeul...@sourceware.org>: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=b0cc81e87087bb8a6b12dc1e4fd7f2591927977b commit b0cc81e87087bb8a6b12dc1e4fd7f2591927977b Author: Benjamin Drung <benjamin.dr...@canonical.com> Date: Mon Nov 18 11:38:25 2024 +0100 ld: Support percent-encoded JSON in --package-metadata Specifying the compiler flag `-Wl,--package-metadata=<JSON>` will not work in case the JSON contains a comma, because compiler drivers eat commas. Example: ``` $ echo "void main() { }" > test.c $ gcc '-Wl,--package-metadata={"type":"deb","os":"ubuntu"}' test.c /usr/bin/ld: cannot find "os":"ubuntu"}: No such file or directory collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status ``` The quotation marks in the JSON value do not work well with shell nor make. Specifying the `--package-metadata` linker flag in a `LDFLAGS` environment variable might loose its quotation marks when it hits the final compiler call. So support percent-encoded and %[string] encoded JSON data in the `--package-metadata` linker flag. Percent-encoding is used because it is a standard, simple to implement, and does take too many additional characters. %[string] encoding is supported for having a more readable encoding.
