Error Messages
option. If you want to independently specify where each segment should move, then
specify both the -t and -d options.
Cause. You specified the -alf option with the -t option, to repeat the fixup process
on an existing DLL while specifying a new address for its code segment. The address
you specified was rounded up to a multiple of 64K bytes (or, 128K bytes if you are
doing this to an implicit DLL).
Effect. Warning (eld produces an output file, but it might not be what you intended).
Recovery. The starting address of the code segment of a DLL is required to have the
indicated alignment. No action is required if you understand that and are satisfied with
the rounding, although it would be cleaner if you specified a number with the right
alignment in the first place. If this doesn’t make sense to you, because you don’t
understand the purpose of the -t option, read the documentation or contact HP for
more detailed advice. Perhaps you intended to make some code section come out at
a particular location, but there is no direct way to do that.
Cause. You specified the -alf option with the -d option, to repeat the fixup process
on an existing DLL while specifying a new address for its data segment. The address
you specified was rounded up to a multiple of 64K bytes (or, 128K bytes if you are
doing this to an implicit DLL).
Effect. Warning (eld produces an output file, but it might not be what you intended).
Recovery. The starting address of the data segment of a program or DLL is required
to have the indicated alignment. No action is required if you understand that and are
satisfied with the rounding, although it would be cleaner if you specified a number with
the right alignment in the first place. More likely, there was no reason for you to use
this combination of options in the first place. If this doesn’t make sense to you,
because you don’t understand the purpose of the
-d option, read the documentation or
contact HP for more detailed advice. Perhaps you intended to make some data
section come out at a particular location, but there is no direct way to do that.
Cause. You gave the -alf option to repeat the fixup process on an existing program
or DLL. Normally, this only updates places in the data segment, that need to be filled
in with the addresses of symbols found in this same program or DLL, or in other DLLs.
Those places are listed in “relocation tables” within the program or DLL. However, one
of the relocation table entries indicated an address to be fixed up that was not within
the data segment of the program or DLL. Possibly the program or DLL is bad, which
1499 The value of the -t option was rounded up to <number>.
1500 The value of the -d option was rounded up to <number>.
1502 <name of a relocation table section> entry <number> is
not in the data segment.
