mold/relocatable.cc

// This file implements the -r or ---relocatable option. If the option
// is given to a linker, the linker creates not an executable nor a
// shared library file but instead create another object file by
// combining input object files.
//
// The behavior of a linker with -r is pretty different from the one
// without -r, and adding code for -r to the regular code path could
// severely complicate it. Therefore, we implement -r as an
// independent feature from others. That's why this file share only a
// small amount of code with other files.
//
// Since the -r option is a minor feature, we don't aim for speed in
// this file. This is a "better than nothing" implementation of the -r
// option.
//
// Here is the strategy as to how to combine multiple object files
// into one:
//
//  - Regular sections containing opaque data (e.g. ".text" or
//    ".data") are just copied as-is without merging.
//
//  - .symtab, .strtab and .shstrtab are merged.
//
//  - COMDAT groups are uniquified.
//
//  - Relocation sections are copied one by one, but we need to fix
//    symbol indices.
