addend, so I have range lists like "0 to 6" for a comdat function that wasn't selected).</span></p>

<div dir="ltr" class="gmail_msg">gold does not use relocated output to build .gdb_index. It scans relocations manually for these sections.<br>

<div dir="ltr" class="gmail_msg"><br>
I think we can leave them in output, but make size of ranges to be zero (1:1 address solves that). That looks correct from spec side.</div>
<div dir="ltr" class="gmail_msg">And that gives a chance to <span style="font-size: 12pt;">use relocated output here and not scan relocations once again.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" class="gmail_msg">Or we probably can ignore them, since we will know that ranges of size zero are stubs.<br>
