            Bug ID: 28198
           Summary: ld: Support # as linker script comment marker
           Product: binutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: i at maskray dot me
  Target Milestone: ---

Looks like # is supported in version scripts and the VERSION command in a
linker script, but is unsupported outside of VERSION.

VERSION {
# meow meow
GLIBC_2.2.5 { global: __free_hook; local: *; };
GLIBC_2.2.6 { global: __nanosleep; local: *; };
}

ld.bfd a.o -T a.ver -shared

Moving the comment outside:

% ld.bfd a.o -T a.ver -shared -o a.so                                           
ld.bfd:a.ver:1: ignoring invalid character `#' in expression
ld.bfd:a.ver:1: syntax error


gold and ld.lld support # outside of VERSION in a linker script.
