Warnings

Errors within this category do not stop execution of the link-editor nor do they prevent the link-editor from producing a viable a.out. The following conditions produce warnings:

• A physical_address or a virtual_address value or a length value appears for any segment other than a LOAD segment. (The directive is ignored.)

• A second declaration line exists for the same segment that changes an attribute value(s). (The second declaration overrides the original.)

• An attribute value(s) (segment_type and/or segment_flags for text and data; segment_type for note) was changed for one of the built-in segments.

• An attribute value(s) (segment_type, segment_flags, length and/or alignment) was changed for a segment created by an implicit declaration. If only the ?O flag has been added, then the change of attribute value warning will not be generated.

• An entrance criteria was not met. If the ?O flag has been turned on and if none of the input sections met an entrance criteria, the warning is generated.
