| https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=879 --- Comment #9 from Martin Nowak <code@dawg.eu> --- It should be possible to put the EH tables and ModuleInfos into section groups, so the linker wouldn't dismiss them even though they aren't referenced explicitly. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19683-01/816-1386/chapter7-26/index.html -- | |||

If you build a -lib, then the compiler will put every symbol into it's own object. This is a linux bug, so it's the wrong place for an optlink rant ;). -- | |||

For ld.gold one would need to pin the .deh_beg/.deh_eh/.deh_end and the .minfo_beg/.minfo/.minfo_end sections in every object file of an archive. At best the pinning would be done from the associated symbol (e.g. function for .deh and ModuleInfo for .minfo). -- | |||

In fact, unless your module makes calls to _d_array_bounds or so, it's even rather unlikely that such a reference that would keep the ModuleInfo alive exists. Thus, the global ctor needs to keep the ModuleInfo alive (via the .minfo ref), not the other way round. -- | |||

| https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=879 --- Comment #16 from Martin Nowak <code@dawg.eu> --- Another problem that I have is that ld.gold with --gc-sections doesn't copy the .minfo_beg/.minfo_end sections from an archive object, so it breaks the section brackets even when all .minfo* sections are pinned. -- | |||
