Error Messages
in nld. If you say “-elf” to eld, eld will believe that you are saying that “lf” is the name
of the main entry point. So, don’t do that.
Cause. You specified a -change option, and this message tells you that it
succeeded, changing a certain attribute within a certain file to a certain value, as
shown in the message.
Effect. Information (This is not indicative of a problem).
Recovery. No action required.
Cause. You specified the -t or -d option, to explicitly tell eld what the starting
address should be for the text or data segment. You also specified the -check_registry
or -update_registry option, to tell eld that it should figure out what address to give the
DLL that you are creating based on what a private DLL registry says. You can’t do
both at the same time.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. If your intention is to use a private DLL registry to decide what the DLLs
address should be, don’t specify the -t or -d option. If you want to explicitly tell eld
where to place the new DLL, without using a private DLL registry, then the -t or -d
options can be used to do that, although there is rarely any reason to use the -d
option. If you want to build a DLL, and explicitly say where it should go, and also have
a private DLL registry updated with that information, you can use the -t option to
build the DLL, and separately put that information into the private DLL registry file by
hand. Or, you can put the information by hand into the private DLL registry first, and
then tell eld to do what the registry says by using the -check_registry option.
Cause. You specified either the -temp_r option, the -must_use_rname option, or one
of the options whose names begin “-grow”. These options relate to how eld chooses
an address for a DLL and updates a private DLL registry accordingly. However, you
did not specify the -update_registry option, which tells eld about a private DLL registry
that it should update.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. If your intention is to have eld create or update a private DLL registry with
information about the DLL that you are building, specify the -update_registry option. If
1331 <attribute name> has been changed to <attribute value>
in file <filename>.
1332 The -t and -d options cannot be given when using a DLL
registry.
1333 The <option name> option can only be given when you are
updating a DLL registry.
