[llvm-dev] ARM64, dropping ADRP instructions, and ld.lld

[Eric Gorr via llvm-dev]

Hello,

I am working in an embedded environment with somewhat restrictive memory
requirements where the page alignment requirements of an ADRP instruction
cannot be guaranteed.

With the ld program inside of the Xcode, there is a -preload flag which
causes ADRP instructions to be dropped, and generates code that is 100%
position independent.

As near as I can determine, ld.lld does not have this same feature. I am
wondering if I am missing something, if such a feature is being planned, or
if there is an alternative I have not considered yet.

Regards,
Eric
