Linker merging of comment sections
If input files have any comment sections that are identical, then the linker can merge them.
If input object files have any .comment
sections that are identical, then the linker merges them to produce the smallest .comment
section while retaining all useful information.
The linker associates each input .comment
section with the filename of the
corresponding input object. If it merges identical .comment
sections, then
all the filenames that contain the common section are listed before the section contents,
for example:
file1.o file2.o .comment section contents.
The linker merges these sections by default. To prevent the merging of identical
.comment
sections, use the --no_filtercomment
command-line option.
Note If you do not want to retain
the information in a
.comment
section, then use the --no_comment_section
option to strip
this section from the image.
