--- Comment #6 from Mick Pearson <mick.pearson at wildblue dot net> --- /bin/ranlib: libcolladadom3D-big-obj.a(viewer_base.lite.cpp.o): warning: COMDAT symbol '.rdata$_ZTVN12ColladaDOM_34DAEP9ElementalINS_9Collada0825__cg_param_group__float__ENS0_7ElementEEE' does not match section name '.xdata$_ZN12ColladaDOM_39Collada0526__cg_param_type__half1x4__D0Ev' I don't know if this is at the root of my problems or not; but I've been through a lot with my unique circumstances. I thought that GCC's strictures are instantiating vtables were my most likely issue. I could not think of a foolproof way around them, and I could not find precise documentation, so I started by using the preprocessor to generate a single CPP file, so I could be sure GCC would emit everything. I've had to play around with that, until I believe the linker finished with all of the inputs one time, but the components were not finding the virtual methods. They seemed to want the method itself instead of a vtable. (They were in a position to not use the vtable.) So I rebuilt to try to externalize the virtual methods they wanted. And now I get this error. It looks like a bug. The two names are completely mismatched. This is not when linking the executable, but simply when building this object or putting it into a single object archive (The archive isn't really necessary, but I am right now leaving nothing to chance until everything works.) P.S. Unless the one time things worked it was a fluke because of a hollow archive or something, I think what really made the linker go forever was a template class that had a static method with a local-static object inside of it. It's not really a situation where every variation can be enumerated so I changed it to a global static procedure local to the translation-unit. -- 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
