[PATCH] D38238: [ELF] Add constant for querying the image base in linker scripts

[James Henderson via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

jhenderson added a comment.

Another thing I just realised - setting . to Config->ImageBase could break people's links if they also explicitly set ., assuming an initial value of zero, to some value less than the default. In the following case, the data section will appear before the text section in the address space, but the two program segments will be out-of-order in an x86_64 link (according to the ELF specification, loadable segments must appear in address-order):

  SECTIONS {
      .text : {
          *(.text .text.*)
      }
      . = 0x100000;
      .data : {
          *(.data .data.*)
      }
  }
