<p><span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-size: 12pt;">I'll start investigating the implementation and try to update/reimplement and check that all. </span></p>

<div>>Either way, my aim is to make lld handle only split .eh_frame sections to do gc-sections or ICF. Supporting both non-split and split section doesn't simplify it at all and >therefore doesn't make sense. It'd rather increase the work we need to do.</div>

Yes and that is my concern. I think we can't just drop supporting optimization of objects produced not by clang/llvm-mc.<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">If we drop supporting split section case, we will lose it and need to be sure <span style="font-size: 12pt;">that is fine for users of LLD.</span></div>
<div class="gmail_quote"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">That probably the questio</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">n</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> is if other compilers will want to do the something same or not.</span></div>
<div class="gmail_quote">Anyways that is a bit forward question probably, let me do experiments with it for start to check the idea.<br>
