COFF Improvements
|
|
|
|
-----------------

|
|
|
|
2018-01-18 06:29:21 +08:00
|
|
|
* A GNU ld style frontend for the COFF linker has been added for MinGW.
|
|
|
|
In MinGW environments, the linker is invoked with GNU ld style parameters;
|
|
|
|
which LLD previously only supported when used as an ELF linker. When
|
|
|
|
a PE/COFF target is chosen, those parameters are rewritten into the
|
|
|
|
lld-link style parameters and the COFF linker is invoked instead.

* Initial support for the ARM64 architecture has been added.
