As per documentation: "You may include comments in linker scripts just as in C: delimited by `/*' and `*/'." Link: https://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/ld-2.9.1/html_chapter/ld_3.html#SEC6 Signed-off-by: Anthony Loiseau <[email protected]>
As well described by sourceware website [1]:
There are two ways of rendering comments to as:
- Anything from ‘/*’ through the next ‘*/’ is a comment.
- The line comment character is target specific
We therefore better should use the C style comment instead of any
single-line comment which can't fit every cases.
Wikipedia [2] provides a list of target-specific GNU as single-line comments:
- A hash symbol (#) — i386, x86-64, i960, 68HC11, 68HC12, VAX, V850, M32R,
PowerPC, MIPS, M680x0, and RISC-V
- A semicolon (;) — AMD 29k family, ARC, H8/300 family, HPPA, PDP-11,
picoJava, Motorola, and M32C
- The at sign (@) — 32-bit ARM
- A double slash (//) — AArch64
- A vertical bar (|) — M680x0
- An exclamation mark (!) — Renesas SH
