ARM Linker warning L6776W

Hi, I'm Paul Black, Product Manager for Arm Compilers. 

Clearly this warning has caused some annoyance, and that's something we like to avoid - using the Arm Compiler should be a stress-free experience! The Arm Compiler is of course widely used for C++ including templates, and we devote significant effort to our testing. However compilers are complex tools and face a virtually infinite variation in incoming code, and it's inevitable that defects will sometimes slip through testing for any compiler. In this particular case, the code generated by the compiler would have been correct and high performance, but the compiler has issued a benign warning.

I appreciate that even a benign warning can be an irritation and a distraction, and I would like to thank you for bringing this to our attention. I'm always eager to hear feedback from users, and I'm always eager to talk about ways we could improve the compiler and the user experience - we'll look into how this warning slipped out under our radar.

Paul.

Hello Paul

Thank you for the reply.

I am trying to convert a project from the armcc to armclang toolchain. After a week of endless warnings and errors messages, I am still not able to link the project.

Is this the correct forum to ask about linker errors? I have been communicating with Mr. Stephen Wang from arm support, but not really getting any nearer to a solution.

Does arm have a utility simialr to the gnu objdump to analyse the contents of the object files?

Hi amanning,

Are you still having problems migrating your project from armcc to armclang? 

Is there anything else I can help you with?

Here is the link to the migration guide from armcc to armclang: https://developer.arm.com/docs/100068/latest

Further documentation about armclang can be found here: https://developer.arm.com/products/software-development-tools/compilers/arm-compiler/documentation/version-6-10

>>I have been communicating with Mr. Stephen Wang from arm support

Could you provide me with the support case IDs you raised?

Thanks

Peterson
