Subject: [PATCH] discard *.exit.text and *.exit.data sections
Date: Sun, 4 Sep 2005 22:46:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050905054603.GA6341@gate.ebshome.net> (raw)
Discard *.exit.text sections on runtime. We cannot do this on link
time because of the way BUG macros are implemented. If "__exit
function" calls one of those macros, __bug_table section will
reference this function. This is similar to ".altinstructions"
situation on i386.
*.exit.data seems to be OK in this respect and is discarded on link
time.
