Bug ID: 63874 Summary: vtable address generation goes through memory Product: gcc Version: 5.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: missed-optimization Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: target Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org Target: aarch64 Take: struct a { virtual void f(void); virtual ~a(); }; struct b : a { virtual void f(void); virtual ~b(); }; void b::f(void){} b::~b(void){} Currently b::~b() produces: _ZN1bD2Ev: .LFB2: .cfi_startproc ldr x1, .LC0 str x1, [x0] b _ZN1aD2Ev .cfi_endproc This really should be: _ZN1bD2Ev: .LFB1: .cfi_startproc adrp x1, _ZTV1b+16 add x1, x1, :lo12:_ZTV1b+16 str x1, [x0] b _ZN1aD2Ev Which is produced if I don't have a definition of b::f() in the same TU causing the vtable not to be defined weak in this TU.
