<p><a name="index-KEEP-381"></a><a name="index-garbage-collection-382"></a>When link-time garbage collection is in use (<span class="samp">--gc-sections</span>),
 | 
						|
it is often useful to mark sections that should not be eliminated. 
 | 
						|
This is accomplished by surrounding an input section's wildcard entry
 | 
						|
with <code>KEEP()</code>, as in <code>KEEP(*(.init))</code> or
 | 
						|
<code>KEEP(SORT_BY_NAME(*)(.ctors))</code>.
