HP aC++/HP C A.06.20 Programmer's Guide

Use the -r option to retain relocation information in the output file for subsequent

relinking.

-s

Using the -s option causes the executable program file created by the linker to be

stripped of symbol table information. Specifying this option prevents using a symbolic

debugger on the resulting program. For details and system defaults, refer to the

description of ld in the HP-UX Reference Manual or the ld(1) manpage if it is installed

on your system.

-usymbol

Enter symbol as an undefined symbol in ld’s symbol table. The resulting unresolved

reference is useful for linking a program solely from object files in a library. More than

one symbol can be specified, but each must be preceded by -u.

See ld(1) manpage for more information.

+ild

The +ild option specifies incremental linking. If the output file does not exist, or if it

was created without the +ild option, the linker performs an initial incremental link.

The output file produced is suitable for subsequent incremental links. The incremental

link option is valid for both executable and shared library links. It is not valid for

relocatable links, options or tools that strip the output module, and certain optimization

options.

When sum reduction optimization is enabled, the compiler may evaluate intermediate

partial sums of float or double precision terms using (wider) extended precision, which

reduces variation in the result caused by different optimization strategies and generally

produces a more accurate result.

See ld(1) manpage for more information.

+ildrelink

The +ildrelink option performs an initial incremental link, regardless of the output

load module. In certain situations during incremental linking (for example, internal

padding space is exhausted), the incremental linker is forced to perform an initial

incremental link. The +ildrelink option allows you to avoid such unexpected initial

incremental links by periodically rebuilding the output file.

See ld(1) manpage for more information.
