我想从我编译的 C++ 二进制文件中删除所有未使用的符号。我看到了这个,它给出了使用 gcc 的概述,这是我正在使用的工具链:如何使用 GCC 和 ld 删除未使用的 C/C++ 符号?
但是,在我的系统上,链接选项 ( -Wl,--gc-sections
) 被拒绝:
$ gcc -fdata-sections -ffunction-sections a.c -o a.o -Wl,--gc-sections
ld: fatal: unrecognized option '--'
ld: fatal: use the -z help option for usage information
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
我在 illumos 上运行,它是(相对)最近的 Solaris 分支,带有 GCC 4.7。有人知道在这里使用的正确链接器选项是什么吗?
编辑:更仔细地搜索手册页出现“-zignore”:
-z ignore | record
Ignores, or records, dynamic dependencies that are not
referenced as part of the link-edit. Ignores, or
records, unreferenced ELF sections from the relocatable
objects that are read as part of the link-edit. By
default, -z record is in effect.
If an ELF section is ignored, the section is eliminated
from the output file being generated. A section is
ignored when three conditions are true. The eliminated
section must contribute to an allocatable segment. The
eliminated section must provide no global symbols. No
other section from any object that contributes to the
link-edit, must reference an eliminated section.
然而,下面的序列仍然放在FUNCTION_SHOULD_BE_REMOVED
ELF 部分.text.FUNCTION
:
$ cat a.c
int main() {
return 0;
}
$ cat b.c
int FUNCTION_SHOULD_BE_REMOVED() {
return 0;
}
$ gcc -fdata-sections -ffunction-sections -c a.c -Wl,-zignore
$ gcc -fdata-sections -ffunction-sections -c b.c -Wl,-zignore
$ gcc -fdata-sections -ffunction-sections a.o b.o -Wl,-zignore
$ elfdump -s a.out # I removed a lot of output for brevity
Symbol Table Section: .dynsym
[2] 0x08050e72 0x0000000a FUNC GLOB D 1 .text.FUNCTION FUNCTION_SHOULD_BE_REMOVED
Symbol Table Section: .symtab
[71] 0x08050e72 0x0000000a FUNC GLOB D 0 .text.FUNCTION FUNCTION_SHOULD_BE_REMOVED
因为手册页说“没有全局符号”,所以我尝试将函数设置为“静态”,并且最终结果相同。
