             Bug #: 14424
           Summary: support for "identical code folding"
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.22
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
        AssignedTo: address@hidden
        ReportedBy: address@hidden
    Classification: Unclassified


Identical code folding (icf) is currently implemented in GOLD.
In our C++ applications it is very effective in reducing the size of libraries
in presence of templates and "machine-generated" code where functions differ
essentially only by the type of some input pointer.

I am wandering if there is any plan to implement icf in bfd-ld
