Bug #: 15270
Summary: GNU LD produce stale dynamic table entries for symbols
optimized out by LTO
Product: binutils
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: ld
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
The problem is in detail described in:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56557
Compiling:
//================
#include <fstream>
int main()
{
std::fstream x;
}
//================
The link error is;
cryolite@ubuntu:~/work/gcc-bugs/20130306$ ~/local/gcc-4.8-20130303/bin/g++
-flto -rdynamic main.cpp
with older revisions of GCC leads to link error. This problem was fixed on GCC
side, but there are also useless referneces to symbols.
The resulting binary contains lots of bogus
SHN_UNDEF symbols (using ld.bfd 2.22.52.0.1), including the _ZTC* symbols that
will fail to link against latest 4.8.0 libstdc++ (or 4.7.x libstdc++), because
they aren't exported.
I'd say that the only needed SHN_UNDEF symbols in the dynamic table are the
symbols that are actually used in the relocations.
If I link without -flto, the relocs are:
0000000000600dc0 0000000400000006 R_X86_64_GLOB_DAT 0000000000000000
__gmon_start__ + 0
0000000000600de0 0000000700000007 R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT 0000000000000000
__libc_start_main + 0
0000000000600de8 0000000c00000007 R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT 0000000000000000
_ZNSt13basic_fstreamIcSt11char_traitsIcEED1Ev + 0
0000000000600df0 0000000e00000007 R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT 0000000000000000
_ZNSt13basic_fstreamIcSt11char_traitsIcEEC1Ev + 0
0000000000600df8 0000001200000007 R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT 0000000000400820
__gxx_personality_v0 + 0
0000000000600e00 0000001300000007 R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT 0000000000000000
_Unwind_Resume + 0
and SHN_UNDEF symbols in the binary beyond those are just:
1: 0000000000600e08 0 NOTYPE WEAK DEFAULT 24 data_start
5: 0000000000000000 0 NOTYPE WEAK DEFAULT UND _Jv_RegisterClasses
8: 0000000000000000 0 NOTYPE WEAK DEFAULT UND
_ITM_deregisterTMCloneTable
10: 0000000000000000 0 NOTYPE WEAK DEFAULT UND
_ITM_registerTMCloneTable
But with -flto there are 96 SHN_UNDEF symbols in the binary. That looks like
liblto_plugin.so bug to me, the symbols are there just in the symbol tables,
but aren't actually used for anything.
