            Bug ID: 35635
           Summary: Should we implement --no-allow-shlib-undefined?
           Product: lld
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: ELF
          Assignee: unassignedb...@nondot.org
          Reporter: r...@google.com
                CC: llvm-bugs@lists.llvm.org

Currently lld behaves as if --allow-shlib-undefined is given, and there's no
way to check whether undefined symbols in DSOs can be resolved or not.

The lack of the option could result in a bad user experience. For example,
imagine that a user forgot to implement some function in a DSO. The DSO links
fine. And all executables that uses the DSO link fine with lld. But the
executables would fail at run-time because the symbol cannot be resolved by the
dynamic linker. Even worse, they don't always fail at start-up time because of
PLT entries are resolved lazily.

Maybe we should evaluate the impact of implementing --no-allow-shlib-undefined.
If it can be implemented easily, we probably should do that.
