maskray.me/blog/2026-02-0… lld 22 ELF changes highlights: Distributed ThinLTO, Pointer Field Protection, RISC-V vendor relocations

claudes-c-compiler禁用了RISC-V assembler relaxation，但没有发现真实原因是没有采用fragment-based设计。 16-bit x86没有弄对看上去是训练样本太少。 我在lld/ELF和blog里提了这个不准确的术语"absolute relocation"太多次好像误导了它。 它能处理asm goto还是挺惊人的。

Asked Claude Code silly questions 'What's the code review style of XXX?'. Still not sure how well it actually performs reviews in someone's style, but the responses are fascinating. gist.github.com/MaskRay/9ebed6…

github.com/llvm/llvm-proj… "[LLD][ELF][RISCV] Support big-endian RISC-V linking" This reminds me of Linus Torvalds's lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-%3Dw… "New endianness problems are somebody ELSES problem"

maskray.me/blog/2026-02-1… Call relocation types Some architectures use two ELF relocation types for a call instruction: (x86, m68k, s390(x), etc)
