Defect Description:
PHSS_20058:
Comdat bug fixes
Resolution:
Defect fixes
- JAGab18157:
segmentation fault when try to link linker with
dependdb-enabled ld32.be
Resolution:
Problem was a coding error. Neccessary code changes
were made to fix the problem.
- JAGaa95719:
PA32 linker: problem in export hash table allocation
Resolution:
This was a enhancement made to make the symbol lookup
more efficient and provide a performance improvement.
- JAGab67527:
Duplicate symbols with +I, shared library, java src
Resolution:
Handling of duplicate comdat symbols in ISOMs were
corrected.
- JAGaa80573:
SOM checksum is incorrect if file is not word-aligned
Resolution:
The algorithm used to generated these checksums were
updated.
- JAGab72684:
SIGBUS from 10.20 linker when building large aCC
application
Resolution:
This was a comdat related problem which was fixed in
the code.
- JAGab18660:
linker must use import stubs that save rp' in
shared libs
Resolution:
The import stubs that don't save rp' are no longer
generated. This also produced significant performance
improvements.
- JAGab24496:
linker(ld32)after PHSS_16404 patch links
slower with performance pragmas
Resolution:
This was related to stub generation on null export
symbols which was corrected and which provided
significant performance improvements
- JAGaa85148:
long symbol name crashes ar32
Resolution:
The crash problem was solved by fixing to code to
support long symbol names.
- JAGab73709:
gdb core dumps with because of invalid linkmap info
Resolution:
The length of the linkmap subspace was incorrectly
generated. This was corrected.
- JAGaa95506:
linker asserts with comdat symbol processing
Resolution:
Comdat symbol processing with +objdebug option was
updated to fix this problem.
- JAGaa95694:
ld32 fails to generate long branch stub and output
invalid fixup error
Resolution:
The algorithm used to detect if long branch stubs are
needed was updated.
- JAGab16715:
Linker shlib export stubs are merged improperly with
ld -r
Resolution:
Fixed to not merge unwind stub records for shared
library export stubs with relocation.
PHSS_19981:
Corrects installation problem with Instant Ignition
(IUX)
- JAGab73688:
ACR5: ld, ar, size commands not installed during IUX
install PHSS_17903
Resolution:
Modify postinstall script of patch to circumvent
problem.
PHSS_17903:
Object Debugging implementation
Resolution:
Enhancement
- JAGaa80382:
Failure for PBO instrumented child to update flow.data
(UX10.20)
Resolution:
New environment variable "PBO_ARGV0" has been added to
specify the name of the executable to be profiled.
- JAGaa80232:
ld -b doesn't report all duplicate symbol errors
Resolution:
The check to find duplicate symbols and abort has been
is done only after all the som files have been
processed.
- JAGaa93940:
ld -r link corrupts symbol_info field for the first
bss symbol
Resolution:
Inappropriate comparision of space and subspace ids
caused this problem and this was fixed.
- JAGaa80631
odump -unwind -titles missing try/catch description
Resolution:
New output statements were added to explain the meaning
of the "e,I,c,s,a" flags.
- JAGaa95862
OBJDEBUG - incorrect dir name is generated in linkmap
Resolution:
Problem has been corrected to generate correct dir name.
- JAGab00066:
ld32 core dumps when +linkmap is used and no dir name
specified with .o
Resolution:
Specify the absolute path or relative path name for
each of the object files.
- JAGaa95816
$DEBUG$ is not copied during non-objdbg links, if
$IGNDBG is present
Resolution:
Using a global flag to record object mode and checking
the flag to determine whether or not to copy over the
DEBUG to the output file is appropriate.
- JAGab03632:
$IGNDBG$ space in end.o file causes purify to fail
Resolution:
A new bit field, "is_ignore_dbg", was added to the
space_dictionary record. This is used the linker to use
$DEBUG$ space instead of $IGNDBG$ space.
- JAGab00075:
+smartbuild option needs to be backported to 10.X ld
Resolution:
Changes were made to allow new option
'+Oreusedir=pathname' to the linker line. This pathname
will then be passed on to the ucomp as one of its
parameters.
PHSS_17544:
Shared vtable implementation
Resolution:
Enhancement.
PHSS_15380:
Performance enhancements:
Hashtable sharing between ld

PHSS_10204:
see PHSS_10205
PHSS_10203:
see PHSS_10205
PHSS_9400:
1. Linker erroneously tries to read too many bytes from one
of the input object files; if it hits EOF, it incorrectly
reports "unexpected EOF" in milli.a.
2. The +e option explicitly exports one symbol while all
others are hidden. For PBO links, there are certain symbols
that require export; the linker needs to do this.
3. Linker emits "absolute branch is out of range"
for dyncall_external due to internal housekeeping bug.
4. Linker segv when called with -I and when attempting to
export a symbol which is a secondary definition.
PHSS_9063:
Linker and icrt0.o performance fixes for PBO
and selective inline (ld/ucomp options) capabilities.
PHSS_9062:

PHSS_8831:

PHSS_8555:
The /usr/lib/dld.sl file was removed from the patch
due to incompatibilities with certain programs, like
/usr/sbin/sendmail.
PHSS_8358:
Som tool support for magic number SHMEM_MAGIC
PHSS_8075:
Special release ld(1) patch.
PHSS_7886:
ld did not correctly handle stripping of an a.out
with multiple init pointers per space.
PHSS_7683:
A programming error regarding handling of more
than one input object. A variable containing
a section ($ANS$) index, was only being initialized
once for the entire program run, rather than
once for each input object.
PHSS_7452:
This patch is required for the next release of C++ and
FORTRAN.C++ and FORTRAN will emit fixups which are
unknown to the previous ld.
PHSS_7013:
dld.sl expected the shared library name to end in ".sl"
but did not check for this.
PHSS_6246:
nm(1) bug in the handling of the -N switch
PHSS_5956:
In some cases, specially when there is a long absolute
internal shlib name embedded in the shared library, the
linker will get a segmentation fault and dump core while
processing that shared library.
PHSS_5724:
In some cases, specially when there are a lot of shared
globals in a program, and many references to the shared
globals exist, a defect in the linker's data copying
elimination function causes missing import entries in the
a.out resulted in core-dumped.
Using a ld's option from the C compiler ("-Wl,-Fc") to
disable data copying elimination or link the program archive
would also fix this problem.
