Relocation Overflow in C++: Understand linking in HUGE projects
Cpp Bay Area: C++ Programming In and Around Silicon Valley
Details
The "relocation overflow" error is a common yet perplexing issue encountered during the linking phase of large-scale C++ projects. It typically manifests with messages like relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_PC32 against 'symbol' from the linker (e.g., ld). This error signifies that the linker, while attempting to resolve symbol addresses, found that the distance between a piece of code and the data or function it references is too large to be encoded in the space allocated for the address offset. This talk provides a comprehensive summary of the causes behind this error and a practical guide to its solutions.
