Introduction
|

============
|
|
|
|
This document contains the release notes for the lld linker, release |release|.
|
|
Here we describe the status of lld, including major improvements
|
|
from the previous release. All lld releases may be downloaded
|
|
from the `LLVM releases web site <https://llvm.org/releases/>`_.

Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
|
|
=================================================
|
|
|
|
ELF Improvements
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
* ``ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD`` compressed input sections are now supported.
|
|
(`D129406 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D129406>`_)
|
|
* ``--compress-debug-sections=zstd`` is now available to compress debug
|
|
sections with zstd (``ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD``).
|
|
(`D133548 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D133548>`_)
|
|
* ``--no-warnings``/``-w`` is now available to suppress warnings.
|
|
(`D136569 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D136569>`_)
|
|
* ``DT_RISCV_VARIANT_CC`` is now produced if at least one ``R_RISCV_JUMP_SLOT``
|
|
relocation references a symbol with the ``STO_RISCV_VARIANT_CC`` bit.
|
|
(`D107951 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D107951>`_)
|
|
* ``--no-undefined-version`` is now the default; symbols named in version
|
|
scripts that have no matching symbol in the output will be reported. Use
|
|
``--undefined-version`` to revert to the old behavior.
|
|
* The output ``SHT_RISCV_ATTRIBUTES`` section now merges all input components
|
|
instead of picking the first input component.
|
|
(`D138550 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D138550>`_)
|
|
|
|
Breaking changes
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
COFF Improvements
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
* The linker command line entry in ``S_ENVBLOCK`` of the PDB is now stripped
|
|
from input files, to align with MSVC behavior.
|
|
(`D137723 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D137723>`_)
|
|
* Switched from SHA1 to BLAKE3 for PDB type hashing / ``-gcodeview-ghash``
|
|
(`D137101 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D137101>`_)
|
|
* Improvements to the PCH.OBJ files handling. Now LLD behaves the same as MSVC
|
|
link.exe when merging PCH.OBJ files that don't have the same signature.
|
|
(`D136762 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D136762>`_)
|
|
* Changed the OrdinalBase for DLLs from 0 to 1, matching the output from
|
|
both MS link.exe and GNU ld. (`D134140 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D134140>`_)
|
|
|
|
MinGW Improvements
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
* The lld-specific options ``--guard-cf``, ``--no-guard-cf``,
|
|
``--guard-longjmp`` and ``--no-guard-longjmp`` has been added to allow
|
|
enabling Control Flow Guard and long jump hardening. These options are
|
|
disabled by default, but enabling ``--guard-cf`` will also enable
|
|
``--guard-longjmp`` unless ``--no-guard-longjmp`` is also specified.
|
|
``--guard-longjmp`` depends on ``--guard-cf`` and cannot be used by itself.
|
|
Note that these features require the ``_load_config_used`` symbol to contain
|
|
the load config directory and be filled with the required symbols.
|
|
(`D132808 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D132808>`_)
|
|
|
|
* Pick up libraries named ``<name>.lib`` when linked with ``-l<name>``, even
|
|
if ``-static`` has been specified. This fixes conformance to what
|
|
GNU ld does. (`D135651 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D135651>`_)
|
|
|
|
* Unwinding in Rust code on i386 in MinGW builds has been fixed, by avoiding
|
|
to leave out the ``rust_eh_personality`` symbol.
|
|
(`D136879 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D136879>`_)
