| <a name="index-implicit-linker-scripts"></a> |
| <p>If you specify a linker input file which the linker can not recognize as |
| an object file or an archive file, it will try to read the file as a |
| linker script. If the file can not be parsed as a linker script, the |
| linker will report an error. |
| </p> |
| <p>An implicit linker script will not replace the default linker script. |
| </p> |
| <p>Typically an implicit linker script would contain only symbol |
| assignments, or the <code>INPUT</code>, <code>GROUP</code>, or <code>VERSION</code> |
| commands. |
| </p> |
| <p>Any input files read because of an implicit linker script will be read |
| at the position in the command line where the implicit linker script was |
| read. This can affect archive searching. |
