When we are outputing an empty loadable section, we consider it not loadable.
But we still align it at page boundary:
address@hidden empty-10]$ !cat
cat foo.c
extern char *__init_array_start;
int xxx = 10;
_start ()
{
return __init_array_start != 0;
}
address@hidden empty-10]$ make LD=ld
gcc -c -o foo.o foo.c
ld -o foo foo.o
readelf -Sl foo
There are 9 section headers, starting at offset 0x2001b0:
