If you are not sure whether you have found a bug, here are some guidelines:

||
|
|
<a name="index-fatal-signal-641"></a>
|
||
|
|
<a name="index-linker-crash-642"></a>
|
||
|
|
<a name="index-crash-of-linker-643"></a>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>If the linker gets a fatal signal, for any input whatever, that is a
|
||
|
|
<span class="command">ld</span> bug. Reliable linkers never crash.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><a name="index-error-on-valid-input-644"></a><li>If <span class="command">ld</span> produces an error message for valid input, that is a bug.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><a name="index-invalid-input-645"></a><li>If <span class="command">ld</span> does not produce an error message for invalid input, that
|
||
|
|
may be a bug. In the general case, the linker can not verify that
|
||
|
|
object files are correct.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>If you are an experienced user of linkers, your suggestions for
|
||
|
|
improvement of <span class="command">ld</span> are welcome in any case.
