Hi,
The gold linker has these options to specify how threads would be used
by the linker. I am not sure what these options are for but I think its
for debugging the linker, maybe.
Are we planning to support these options ?
<snip from manpage>
--threads
Run the linker multi-threaded
--no-threads
Do not run the linker multi-threaded
--thread-count COUNT
Number of threads to use
--thread-count-initial COUNT
Number of threads to use in initial pass
--thread-count-middle COUNT Number of threads to use in middle pass
--thread-count-final COUNT
Number of threads to use in final pass

I doubt if these options are useful. I don't have any need, so I don't like to add these options at least at this moment.

I'd be ok with --no-threads if we actually need it, but now is not that time. - Michael Spencer> > <snip from manpage> > --threads > Run the linker multi-threaded > > --no-threads > Do not run the linker multi-threaded > > --thread-count COUNT > Number of threads to use > > --thread-count-initial COUNT > Number of threads to use in initial pass > > --thread-count-middle COUNT Number of threads to use in middle pass > > --thread-count-final COUNT > Number of threads to use in final pass > > <snip> > > Shankar Easwaran >
