Error Messages
Cause. The-make_import_lib option creates an import library to represent one or
more other DLLs that already exist. Only certain other options are allowed in
conjunction with the -make_import_lib option, and the one mentioned in the error
message is not one of them.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. If you are not trying to create an import library to represent one or more
other DLLs that already exist, don’t specify the -make_import_lib option. If you are
trying to do that, don’t specify the other option mentioned in the error message.
Cause. The symbol <symbol name> is a cross_dll_cleanup symbol but is not
allowed because of any of the following reasons:
•
It is an initerm symbol
•
It has the CALLABLE attribute
•
It has the MAIN attribute
•
Not all copies of the <symbol name> are marked STO_MULTIPLE_DEF_OK.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. Check that the attributes of the <symbol name> are as required. If not,
update the attributes to comply with the rules that are mandated by the -
cross_dll_cleanup option. If the attributes are not as required, the -
cross_dll_cleanup option cannot be used.
Cause. Using the -cross_dll_cleanup option requires that all the input object files
be compiled with -Wglobalized option.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. Compile the input object files with the -Wglobalized option.
Cause. The MAIN attribute is one of the attributes that can be assigned to a procedure
within an object file. That can be done by using the appropriate syntax in pTAL or
1389 The symbol named <symbol name> is a cross_dll_cleanup
symbol, but that's not allowed because <reason>.
1391 Input file <file name> was not compiled with the -
Wglobalized option, but all input object files must be
compiled with this option when the -cross_dll_cleanup option
is used.
1393 Multiple procedures with the 'main' attribute: <symbol
name> and <symbol name>.
