_MERGE_RDATA_ macro

_MERGE_RDATA_ macro

  1. Linker Tools Warning LNK4253
  2. section 'section1' not merged into 'section2'; already merged into 'section3'

    The linker detected multiple, conflicting merge requests. The linker will ignore one of the requests.

    A /MERGE option or directive is encountered and the from section has already been merged into a different section due to a previous /MERGE option or directive (or due to an implicit merge from the linker).

    To resolve LNK4253, remove one of the merge requests.

    When targeting x86 machines and Windows CE targets (ARM, MIPS, SH4, and Thumb) with Visual C++, the .CRT section is now read only. If your code depends on the previous behavior (.CRT sections are read/write), you could see unexpected behavior..

  3. /MERGE (Combine Sections)
  4. /MERGE:from=to.

    Remarks The /MERGE option combines the first section (from) with the second section (to), naming the resulting section to. For example, /merge:.rdata=.text.

    If the second section does not exist, LINK renames the section from as to.

    The /MERGE option is useful for creating VxDs and overriding the compiler-generated section names.

  5. Merge .rdata and .data sections into text section
  6. I have a program where I execute C++ code at run time, like in JIT. The program when run, creates C++ code on the fly, converts to LLVM IR and obj using LLVM. It then loads the text section and runs it. The programs runs fine when there is just one text section. I wanted to know how I can run it when there are .data/.rdata sections. Visual Studio linker has /MERGE when can merge .rdata to .text. How can I implement this - so that I can merge the sections in obj to just one text section?.
