llvm dev - Oct 2021 - Default linker script used by lld

Hi,

Does anyone know the default linker script used by lld? This might be a silly
question but I googled everywhere and couldn't find an answer...

Thanks,

LLD, doesn't have a built-in linker script in the same way as GNU ld.bfd
does.

Input Sections are mapped to OutputSections via a simple function
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/lld/ELF/Writer.cpp#L98 then
sections are sorted according to rank in
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/lld/ELF/Writer.cpp#L98 hopefully
the comments in those files will help reverse engineer a script that looks
similar.

In practice the default linker behaviour will most significantly differ from
ld.bfd by sorting ro-data before ro-code rather than after. This tends towards 3
PT_LOAD program headers ro, ro+exec, rw.

Hope that helps

Peter
