3 # This script handles linking the tool executables on FreeBSD,
4 # statically and at an alternative load address.
6 # Linking statically sidesteps all sorts of complications to do with
7 # having two copies of the dynamic linker (valgrind's and the
8 # client's) coexisting in the same process. The alternative load
9 # address is needed because Valgrind itself will load the client at
10 # whatever address it specifies, which is almost invariably the
11 # default load address. Hence we can't allow Valgrind itself (viz,
12 # the tool executable) to be loaded at that address.
14 # Unfortunately there's no standard way to do 'static link at
15 # alternative address', so these link_tool_exe_*.in scripts handle
16 # the per-platform hoop-jumping.
18 # What we get passed here is:
20 # the alternative load address
21 # all the rest of the args
22 # the compiler invocation to do the final link, that
23 # the build system would have done, left to itself
25 # We just let the script 'die' if something is wrong, rather than do
26 # proper error reporting. We don't expect the users to run this
27 # directly. It is only run as part of the build process, with
28 # carefully constrained inputs.
30 # FreeBSD specific complications:
32 # - in the initial version of this file, the linker(s) it was targeted
33 # at supported only -Ttext to load the code at an alternative address,
34 # and did not require removing the build notes in order to function
35 # correctly, so the work done by configure to determine what should go
36 # into the FLAG_T_TEXT was ignored.
38 # - LLVM's ld.lld, for at least versions 8.0 (shipping with FreeBSD 12.1)
39 # and 9.0 support the -Ttext option and behave as desired. As of
40 # LLVM ld.lld version 10.0 a breaking change made -Ttext unusable,
41 # however the --image-base option has the desired semantics.
42 # It turns out that ld.lld has supported --image-base since at least
43 # as far back as version 8.0.
45 # So: what we actually do:
47 # pass the specified command to the linker as-is, except, add
48 # "-static" and the value of FLAG_T_TEXT as determined by configure.
49 # Previously we did this by adding these options after the first
50 # word of the rest of the arguments, which works in the common case
51 # when it's something like "gcc". But the linker invocation itself
52 # might be multiple words, say if it's "ccache gcc". So we now put
53 # the new options at the end instead.
59 # expect at least: alt-load-address gcc -o foo bar.o
