Error Messages
Cause. You used the -set highpin option, which is an attribute you can set when you
build a program or DLL, and you also used the -r option, to tell eld to build another
object file that can be used as linker input, rather than a program or DLL.
Effect. Error (The linker cannot do what was requested of it and will eventually stop,
but may continue for the purpose of detecting additional errors before stopping).
Recovery. If your intention is to create a program or DLL, then don’t specify the -r
option. If your intention is to use the -r option to create another object file that can be
used as eld input, then don’t specify the -set highpin option.
Cause. You used the -set highrequestors option, which is an attribute you can set
when you build a program or DLL, and you also used the -r option, to tell eld to build
another object file that can be used as linker input, rather than a program or DLL.
Effect. Error (The linker cannot do what was requested of it and will eventually stop,
but may continue for the purpose of detecting additional errors before stopping).
Recovery. If your intention is to create a program or DLL, then don’t specify the -r
option. If your intention is to use the -r option to create another object file that can be
used as eld input, then don’t specify the -set highrequestors option.
Cause. You have specified the -alf option, together with the -t and -d options, to
rebase a DLL and move the two segments (the code segment and data segment) by
different amounts. Within this DLL, there are cases where, in one segment, a word
contains a value that is a self-relative offset into the other segment. Our TNS/E
compilers never generate such code, but if somehow you get such code into your DLL,
that can work. However, such words would need updating if the two segments were
rebased by different amounts, and the -alf option does not support that, so it reports
this as an error.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. Did you compile code with some other compiler, and manage to get it to go
through eld to create this DLL? We don’t recommend doing that. In any case, no
matter how you created this DLL, you cannot rebase the two segments by different
amounts with the -alf option. Relink the DLL, correctly specifying the two segment
addresses that you want the first time, instead of using the -alf option to change
them.
1185 The 'highrequestors' attribute is not allowed with the -
r option.
1186 Cannot rebase the two segments by different amounts
because this file contains PC-relative relocations that go
between the code and data segments.
