#! @PERL@ # This script handles linking the tool executables on Linux, # statically and at an alternative load address. # # Linking statically sidesteps all sorts of complications to do with # having two copies of the dynamic linker (valgrind's and the # client's) coexisting in the same process. The alternative load # address is needed because Valgrind itself will load the client at # whatever address it specifies, which is almost invariably the # default load address. Hence we can't allow Valgrind itself (viz, # the tool executable) to be loaded at that address. # # Unfortunately there's no standard way to do 'static link at # alternative address', so this program handles the per-platform # hoop-jumping. # # # What we get passed here is: # first arg # the alternative load address # all the rest of the args # the gcc invokation to do the final link, that # the build system would have done, left to itself # # We just let the script 'die' if something is wrong, rather than do # proper error reporting. We don't expect the users to run this # directly. It is only run as part of the build process, with # carefully constrained inputs. # # Linux specific complications: # # - need to support both old GNU ld and gold: use -Ttext= to # set the text segment address. # # - need to pass --build-id=none (that is, -Wl,--build-id=none to # gcc) if it accepts it, to ensure the linker doesn't add a # notes section which ends up at the default load address and # so defeats our attempts to keep that address clear for the # client. However, older linkers don't support this flag, so it # is tested for by configure.in and is shipped to us as part of # argv[2 ..]. # # # So: what we actually do: # # pass the specified command to the linker as-is, except, add # "-static" and "-Ttext=" to it. # use warnings; use strict; # expect at least: alt-load-address gcc -o foo bar.o die "Not enougn arguments" if (($#ARGV + 1) < 5); my $ala = $ARGV[0]; # check for plausible-ish alt load address die "Bogus alt-load address" if (length($ala) < 3 || index($ala, "0x") != 0); # The cc invokation to do the final link my $cc = $ARGV[1]; # and the 'restargs' are argv[2 ..] # so, build up the complete command here: # 'cc' -static -Ttext='ala' 'restargs' my $cmd="$cc -static -Wl,-Ttext=$ala"; # Add the rest of the parameters foreach my $n (2 .. $#ARGV) { $cmd = "$cmd $ARGV[$n]"; } print "link_tool_exe_linux: $cmd\n"; # Execute the command: my $r = system("$cmd"); if ($r == 0) { exit 0; } else { exit 1; }
