Is there a Linux analogue for MSVC's linker switch /VERBOSE?

Question

On MSVC when I add the linker switch /VERBOSE I'm able to track the link resolution of individual functions, and thereby the reason that libraries are linked in:

-Wl,--verbose doesn't do the same for Linux linkers, and I can't find anything else in ld/lld/gold/mold that does. Is there anything similar?

Answer 1

In case this is of interest to others: On ld and compatible linkers, --cref achieves similar results. Here's a snippet of the result of building the above code with g++ -Wl,--cref tst.cpp:

The first line for each symbol is the location of its definition, the next lines (for the same symbol) are locations referencing it.
