-s
-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 for more information.
-usymbol
-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
+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
+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.
Options for Naming the Output File
These options allow you to name the compilation output file something other than the
default name.
