Hi together!
At first I must say, that my English isn't very good, so please be
patient with me.
I'm developing software on a win32 Host for a ppc-elf embedded target. I
use
gcc 2.95.2
as 2.10
ld 2.10
I have a problem with the ld. It seems that the ld doesn't relocate the
addresses correct. If I try to branch absolut (using ba) to an address
between 0x0200_0000 and 0xFE00_0000 it calculates the wrong value. The
calcultated value is 0xFE00_000 to high. If I try to use the correct
value as an constant (i.e. ba 0x02400238) I get an error:
Error: operand out of range (37757824 not between -33554432 and
33554431)
Has anyone an idea what causes this problem and how to solve it?
Regards,
Kai

Well, it _is_ out of range. ba can only reach addresses in the range
0xfe000000 to 0x01fffffc. Check your hardware manual.

Hi Kai,
> ld 2.10
This is a *very* old version of ld. Please upgrade to the latest
release (2.14) and try again.
Cheers
Nick

Sorry
$ uname -m
x86_64
$ ld --version
GNU ld version 2.15.90.0.1.1 20040303
$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.1 20040803 (Gentoo Linux 3.4.1-r2, ssp-3.4-2, pie-8.7.6.5)

You're right, I saw that gcc 3.4.2 is now available in the gentoo tree
and after an update to this the problem went away. Thanks for the help!
(and sorry for the lack of proper information in my first post)

You didn't say the target or the version of ld where you found this
problem which makes it harder to give an answer because we have to
guess these details. I'll guess x86 and 2.15 or one of HJ's 2.15.x
releases. You also didn't give the version of gcc.
I expect that if someone analysed this problem properly, you would find
a reference to the typeinfo symbol in a normal section such as .data or
.rodata. What's more, I'll make a wild guess that the reference is made
inside some function that requires linkonce semantics itself, and most
of the function is defined in sections named .gnu.linkonce.*. If that's
the case then this is really a g++ code generation error.
However, ld ought to be forgiving in this situation, so this error is
also a ld bug. I fixed the ld bug on 2004-08-13 for CVS head, so you
might like to try compiling current CVS binutils. You'll get a warning
instead of an error.

Please excuse me if this is the wrong place for this kind of questions,
but I've been banging my head against this particular wall for a while
now, and don't think I'll find a solution on my own.
I am linking a a program consisting of a single C++ object file (a test
suite) with a rather large static library also written in C++ (my 3D
game engine). Everything has worked fine for quite some time, but
recently I started getting an annoying error during the link phase of
the program (compiling the static library archive itself is just fine,
no problems there). The error I'm getting is
g++ -o build/scons/debug/test/test-font-debug
build/scons/debug/test/font/application.o -Lbuild/scons/debug/engine
-Lsrc -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lneoapplication-debug -lneoengine-debug -lGL
-lXxf86vm -lX11
typeinfo for neo::scene::Object: discarded in section
`.gnu.linkonce.r._ZTIN3neo5scene6ObjectE' from
build/scons/debug/engine/libneoengine-debug.a(object.o)
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
where 'libneoengine-debug.a' is the engine static library archive.
I have searched for a better description of the problem and what to do
about it, but can't seem to find anything.
The problem goes away if I rename the neo::scene::Object class to
something else, but that's not a solution.
It also goes away if I add a --whole-archive / --no-whole-archive block
around -lneoengine-debug, but that sounds like a hack rather than a
solution to me.
Does anybody have an idea of what the problem might be and how to fix
it? Or simply describe this error in more detail to point me in the
right direction? If you need more information or the source, just tell
me.
Thanks!
