Change to the default behaviour of ld
Summary
Change the default behaviour of ld so that ld will not automatically skip linking objects if they are listed as a dependency of another object.
Owner
TBA
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 13
- Last updated: 2009-11-25
- Percentage of completion: 50%
Detailed Description
Change the default behaviour of ld. See User_talk:Valce.
Benefit to Fedora
The new default behaviour will help address potential problems further down the line if shared objects ever change their dependencies.
Scope
Changes the default behaviour of ld, which will affect compilation.
Test Plan
- Run mass mock builds, notify owners of packages that have problems under the new ld.
User Experience
Some packages may need to explicitly link shared objects if they have neglected to do so.
Dependencies
None
Contingency Plan
- Continue without such capability.
Documentation
None yet. A temporary description (still a work-in-progress) is up in User_talk:Valce
