3# This script handles linking the tool executables on Linux,
4# statically and at an alternative load address.
5#
6# Linking statically sidesteps all sorts of complications to do with
7# having two copies of the dynamic linker (valgrind's and the
8# client's) coexisting in the same process.  The alternative load
9# address is needed because Valgrind itself will load the client at
10# whatever address it specifies, which is almost invariably the
11# default load address.  Hence we can't allow Valgrind itself (viz,
12# the tool executable) to be loaded at that address.
13#
14# Unfortunately there's no standard way to do 'static link at
15# alternative address', so these link_tool_exe_*.in scripts handle
16# the per-platform hoop-jumping.
17#
18# What we get passed here is:
19#   first arg
20#      the alternative load address
21#   all the rest of the args
22#      the gcc invokation to do the final link, that
23#      the build system would have done, left to itself
24#
25# We just let the script 'die' if something is wrong, rather than do
26# proper error reporting.  We don't expect the users to run this
27# directly.  It is only run as part of the build process, with
28# carefully constrained inputs.
29#
30# Linux specific complications:
31#
32# - need to support both old GNU ld and gold: use -Ttext= to
33#   set the text segment address.
34#
35# - need to pass --build-id=none (that is, -Wl,--build-id=none to
36#   gcc) if it accepts it, to ensure the linker doesn't add a
37#   notes section which ends up at the default load address and
38#   so defeats our attempts to keep that address clear for the
39#   client.  However, older linkers don't support this flag, so it
40#   is tested for by configure.in and is shipped to us as part of
41#   argv[2 ..].
42#
43#
44# So: what we actually do:
45#
46#   pass the specified command to the linker as-is, except, add
47#   "-static" and "-Ttext=<argv[1]>" to it.
