--- Comment #10 from Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> 2012-02-22 02:32:37 UTC --- Hmm, running lang_do_assignments before lang_gc_sections does change a few things in the symbol table, leading to some cris-elf testsuite failures. What's happening is that elf_gc_sweep now sees all the link script defined symbols, so they become subject to garbage collecting (well, forcing local). For the first test that fails, the expected symbol table is SYMBOL TABLE: 00080074 l d .text 00000000 .text 00082078 l d .got 00000000 .got 00082078 l O .got 00000000 _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ 00080074 g .text 00000000 _start 00082084 g *ABS* 00000000 __bss_start 00082084 g *ABS* 00000000 _edata 000820a0 g *ABS* 00000000 _end but we now get SYMBOL TABLE: 00080074 l d .text 00000000 .text 00082078 l d .got 00000000 .got 00082084 l *ABS* 00000000 __bss_start 00082084 l *ABS* 00000000 _edata 00082078 l O .got 00000000 _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ 000820a0 l *ABS* 00000000 _end 00080074 g .text 00000000 _start Note how __bss_start, _edata, _end are now local since no dynamic objects referred to them. I don't think that is a great concern, but of course means tweaking the cris testsuite when/if this patch goes in. -- Configure bugmail: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
