+# This test shows an oddity in lld. When a linker script alternates among
+# different types of output section in the same command, the sections are
+# reordered.
+# In this test we go from regular, to merge and back to regular. The reason
+# for the reordering is that we need two create two output sections and
+# one cannot be in the middle of another.
+# If this ever becomes a problem, some options would be:
+# * Adding an extra layer in between input section and output sections (Chunk).
+# With that this example would have 3 chunks, but only one output section.
+# This would unfortunately complicate the non-script case too.
+# * Just create three output sections.
+# * If having three output sections causes problem, have linkerscript specific
+# code to write the section table and section indexes. That way we could
+# keep 3 sections internally but not expose that.
