<div>ld.bfd behaves differently. For the script below<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>SECTIONS {</div>
<div> .temp : { *(.keep) }</div>
<div> .keep : { KEEP(*(.keep)) }</div>
<div>}<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>it creates .temp section like if *(.keep) would be specified to have KEEP flag.<br>
</div>
</div>
<div>But I wonder - does such scripts are really used in real life ? For me it seems to be a bug in script, am I mistaken ? </div>
<div>I guess if gold and bfd still have the different behavior then probably feature not commonly used. lld behavior is equal to gold now, it is natural, I mean we did nothing special to achieve that. I am not sure if we should really 'fix' that.<br>
