[llvm-dev] LLD: creating linker-generated sections as input sections instead of output sections
I tried but couldn't create a satisfactory change. Currently all the code depend on the fact that all ELFT-typed input sections are backed by actual files. We need to relax it, but in the end I had to modify too many places, so I abandoned that change. I don't want to make the class hierarchy too deep, so maybe we should move more functionality to the base class. We might also want to make some functions in InputSections virtual, but I'm not sure about that yet. I don't have time to work on it for a few days, so if you want to do it, please go ahead to try.

https://reviews.llvm.org/D25627 The amount of code changes is overwhelming, so I started from converting just .got and .got.plt sections. 2016-10-22 1:22 GMT+03:00 Rui Ueyama <ruiu at google.com>:> I tried but couldn't create a satisfactory change.
