The version of ld distributed with Cygwin (version 2.13.90 20021118) exits with a "segmentation fault" error when launched with the -shared option and passed a .def file with a syntax error.
An example: create a file with a .def extension, and the following content ----------------- LIBRARY lib BASE 0x400000 EXPORTS dllwrite ----------------- (the syntax in line 1 is incorrect, there should be a = sign between BASE and 0x400000 instead of a space) and type: ld -shared -o <output file> <any object file[s]> <just-created .def file> The output is ld: <.def file>:1: parse error Segmantation fault (core dumped) __________________________________________________________________ Tiscali ADSL.
