Error Messages
Cause. You used the -instance_data option, which affects the layout of the
program or DLL that you are creating, 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 tell eld to make another object file
that can be used as eld input, then don’t specify the -instance_data option.
Cause. While reading the private DLL registry that was specified for this link in the -
check_registry or -update_registry option, eld ran off the end of the file when it was
expecting that the next thing in the file would be a number. Presumably, the format of
the file is bad because it was incorrectly edited by hand.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. Fix the format of the file, as explained elsewhere in this manual.
Cause. You gave the -rename option, which requires two symbol name parameters.
However, the next two things on the command line were not symbol name parameters.
Either there were no symbol name parameters, or there was only one, and then it was
either the end of the command line or the next token on the command line started with
a hyphen, indicating another option rather than another parameter to this one.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. If you want to specify this option, fix the syntax.
Cause. While reading the private DLL registry that was specified for this link in the -
check_registry or -update_registry option, at the line indicated in the message, eld
expected to see a number, but the next thing in the file was not a number with the
correct format. Presumably, the format of the file is bad because it was incorrectly
edited by hand.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. Fix the format of the file, as explained elsewhere in this manual.
