There seems to be a bug in the name mangling of a function inside a unnamed
namespace (using g++ 4.1.0), when the compilation unit uses a precompiled
header which contains another unnamed namespace. This is better demonstrated
with the following setup:
pch.h:
namespace { void inside_pch(){} }
test1.cpp:
#include "pch.h"
namespace { void test(){} }
int main() {}
test2.cpp:
#include "pch.h"
namespace { void test(){} }
Showing the bug:
g++ pch.h
g++ -o test1.o -c test1.cpp
g++ -o test2.o -c test2.cpp
g++ -o test test1.o test2.o
test2.o: In function `(anonymous namespace)::inside_pch()':
test2.cpp:(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `(anonymous
namespace)::inside_pch()'
test1.o:test1.cpp:(.text+0x0): first defined here
test2.o: In function `(anonymous namespace)::test()':
test2.cpp:(.text+0x6): multiple definition of `(anonymous namespace)::test()'
test1.o:test1.cpp:(.text+0x6): first defined here
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
nm test1.o shows:
U __gxx_personality_v0
0000000c T main
00000000 T _ZN34_GLOBAL__N_pch.h_00000000_ECAA0BAE10inside_pchEv
00000006 T _ZN34_GLOBAL__N_pch.h_00000000_ECAA0BAE4testEv
nm test2.o shows:
U __gxx_personality_v0
00000000 T _ZN34_GLOBAL__N_pch.h_00000000_ECAA0BAE10inside_pchEv
00000006 T _ZN34_GLOBAL__N_pch.h_00000000_ECAA0BAE4testEv
While the incorrect mangling of unnamed namespace inside a pch is a
longstanding bug, function test, both in test1.cpp and test2.cpp used to be
mangled correctly, at least with g++ 3.4.5.
Doing the same with g++ 3.4.5, we have as result the following error message:
test2.o: In function `(anonymous namespace)::inside_pch()':
test2.cpp:(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `(anonymous
namespace)::inside_pch()'
test1.o:test1.cpp:(.text+0x0): first defined here
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
This time, nm test1.o returns:
0000000c T main
00000000 T _ZN34_GLOBAL__N_pch.h_00000000_7F4453F410inside_pchEv
00000006 T _ZN38_GLOBAL__N_test1.cpp_00000000_6EC548D94testEv
and nm test2.o
00000000 T _ZN34_GLOBAL__N_pch.h_00000000_7F4453F410inside_pchEv
00000006 T _ZN38_GLOBAL__N_test2.cpp_00000000_D5E9623F4testEv:
I hope this information helps.
