[LLVMdev] LLD input graph handling proposal

[Shankar Easwaran]

Hi Joerg,

I would love to have this behavior(solaris/hp-ux linkers used to do this).

cat > main.c << \!
int main() {
   fn();
   fn1();
}
!

cat > fn.c << \!
int fn() {
   return 0;
}
!

cat > fn1.c << \!
int fn1() {
   return 0;
}
!

gcc -c -fPIC main.c fn.c fn1.c
ld -shared fn1.o -o libfn1.so
ld -shared fn.o -o libfn.so -L. -lfn1
ld main.o libfn.so
ld: warning: libfn1.so, needed by libfn.so, not found (try using -rpath 
or -rpath-link)
ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 00000000004002f0
main.o: In function `main':
main.c:(.text+0x14): undefined reference to `fn1'

Any ways of making the GNU linker do a DFS/BFS search on dependent 
libraries ?

Thanks

Shankar Easwaran
