Using g++ from 4.2.0 daily snapshot 20060401:
$ ~/local/gcc-4.2-20060401/bin/g++ -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
Configured with: /lab/rjpeters/build/gcc-4.2-20060401/configure
--enable-languages=c,c++ --prefix=/lab/rjpeters/local/gcc-4.2-20060401
--enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.2.0 20060401 (experimental)
I get a linker error when I try to compile and link the following into a shared
library. The link error only happens when I use -fpic, and it happens only when
I take the address of typeid(int) inside an anonymous namespace; no linker
error if I take the address in the global namespace or in a named namespace.
$ cat test.C
#include <typeinfo>
void g(const std::type_info&);
namespace { // <--- change to 'namespace X' and the error disappears
const std::type_info* t = &(typeid(int));
}
template <class T>
struct C
{
virtual void foo() const {
g(typeid(int));
}
};
C<void> c;
$ ~/local/gcc-4.2-20060401/bin/g++ -c test.C -fpic -o test.o
$ ~/local/gcc-4.2-20060401/bin/g++ -shared test.o -o test.so
/usr/bin/ld: test.o(.gnu.linkonce.t._ZNK1CIvE3fooEv+0x14): unresolvable
relocation against symbol `typeinfo for int@@CXXABI_1.3'
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Not entirely sure which part of the toolchain this relates to, but I don't see
the error with g++ 3.4.4 or 4.1.0 so I'm guessing there's a chance it's
compiler-related.
If I compile test.C->test.o both with 3.4.4 and 4.2.0 (20060401), then diff the
outputs of 'nm test.o | c++filt', I get this:
$ diff nm-3.4.4 nm-4.2
