[llvm-dev] lld error: output file too large <some large number>

[Moshtaghi, Alireza via llvm-dev]

My target requires that text section be at 0x0 so "-Ttext 0x0" is passed to the linker.
When I link with gold, it goes through; but lld fails.
Instead of always returning the same calculation, when I change the calculation to the following, it links:
  return first->offset + (os->addr > first->addr ?
                          os->addr - first->addr :
                          os->addr);

There are other things in the build that I need to fix so I can't tell if the result is correct yet though. Do you think this is correct?

Thanks
A

    Hi Alireza, getFileAlignment was renamed in Oct 2018. It seems that
    you may have sectionA and sectionB in one PT_LOAD while sectionB has a
    lower address. This is invalid.

    Can you provide more information about how you have a sectionB with a
    lower address? Note that LLD has an error "unable to move location
    counter backward for: ".
