Bug ID: 16715
Summary: -Bsymbolic breaks PMF comparison under ARM
Product: binutils
Version: 2.22
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: ld
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

testcase
The attached program changes the output from "true" to "false" when the
-Bsymbolic / -Bsymbolic-functions options are passed to GCC. This happens on
ARM -- on x86-64 output is always "true".
The program involves a comparison, within a shared library, of a PMF defined
inside the shared library itself with the same PMF passed by the application.
Compile with:
> g++ -fPIC -shared -Wall -o libshared.so -Wl,-Bsymbolic shared.cpp
> g++ -fPIE -Wall -o main main.cpp -L. -lshared
(The long story is that Qt 5 is taking PMFs in its public API, and the
comparison failing inside of Qt shared libraries is breaking code on ARM, as
-Bsymbolic is set by default there.)
The bug has been acknowledged, and tentative patch has been kindly provided by
W. Newton here:

but there hasn't been any activity from what I can see, so I'm opening this bug
report to keep track of the issue.
