--- Comment #3 from Martin Liška <marxin at gcc dot gnu.org> --- So the mentioned revision is responsible for creation of a new consprop clone: IPA decision stage: ... - Creating a specialized node of virtual bool blink::HTMLFormControlElement::isFormControlElement() const/14820 for all known contexts. ... IPA constant propagation end and the symbol is identified to be set to a comdat group in ipa-comdats.c:365: if (is_a <cgraph_node *> (symbol)) dyn_cast <cgraph_node *>(symbol)->call_for_symbol_thunks_and_aliases (set_comdat_group_1, *comdat_head_map.get (group), true); as the function calls 'set_comdat_group_1' for the constprop cloned function, the original function of the clone is thunk and calls the clone. So that set_comdat_group_1 is called for the original function: _ZThn96_NK5blink22HTMLFormControlElement20isFormControlElementEv/14822 (virtual bool blink::HTMLFormControlElement::_ZThn96_NK5blink22HTMLFormControlElement20isFormControlElementEv() const) @0x7fffeb51b8a0 Type: function definition analyzed Visibility: externally_visible asm_written public weak comdat comdat_group:_ZNK5blink22HTMLFormControlElement20isFormControlElementEv one_only section:.text._ZNK5blink22HTMLFormControlElement20isFormControlElementEv (implicit_section) virtual artificial Same comdat group as: _ZNK5blink22HTMLFormControlElement20isFormControlElementEv.constprop.39/31390 Aux: @0x1 References: Referring: Availability: available First run: 0 Function flags: nonfreeing_fn Thunk fixed offset -96 virtual value 0 has virtual offset 0) Called by: Calls: _ZNK5blink22HTMLFormControlElement20isFormControlElementEv.constprop.39/31390 (1.00 per call) (can throw external) constprop clone: _ZNK5blink22HTMLFormControlElement20isFormControlElementEv.constprop.39/31390 (<built-in>) @0x7fffe8bc6000 Type: function definition analyzed Visibility: comdat_group:_ZNK5blink22HTMLFormControlElement20isFormControlElementEv Same comdat group as: _ZNK5blink22HTMLFormControlElement20isFormControlElementEv/14820 previous sharing asm name: 31394 References: Referring: Clone of _ZNK5blink22HTMLFormControlElement20isFormControlElementEv/14820 Availability: local First run: 0 Function flags: local nonfreeing_fn Called by: _ZThn96_NK5blink22HTMLFormControlElement20isFormControlElementEv/14822 (1.00 per call) (can throw external) Calls: Problem is that the original function has already set comdat_group here: #0 symtab_node::set_comdat_group (this=0x7fffeb51b8a0, group=0x7fffeb4dc620) at ../../gcc/cgraph.h:220 #1 0x0000000000a53972 in symtab_node::add_to_same_comdat_group (this=0x7fffeb51b8a0, old_node=0x7fffeb51b5c0) at ../../gcc/symtab.c:461 #2 0x00000000008d05e2 in use_thunk (thunk_fndecl=0x7fffeb4ec7e0, emit_p=true) at ../../gcc/cp/method.c:396 #3 0x00000000008e2979 in emit_associated_thunks (fn=0x7fffeb4dc620) at ../../gcc/cp/semantics.c:4080 #4 0x00000000008e2cb8 in expand_or_defer_fn (fn=0x7fffeb4dc620) at ../../gcc/cp/semantics.c:4178 #5 0x000000000087a103 in cp_parser_function_definition_after_declarator (parser=0x7ffff7feeb40, inline_p=true) at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:25212 #6 0x000000000087b772 in cp_parser_late_parsing_for_member (parser=0x7ffff7feeb40, member_function=0x7fffeb4dc620) at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:26033 #7 0x00000000008745f7 in cp_parser_class_specifier_1 (parser=0x7ffff7feeb40) at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:21412 #8 0x00000000008746bb in cp_parser_class_specifier (parser=0x7ffff7feeb40) at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:21438 #9 0x000000000086b65b in cp_parser_type_specifier (parser=0x7ffff7feeb40, flags=1, decl_specs=0x7fffffffd6b0, is_declaration=true, declares_class_or_enum=0x7fffffffd634, is_cv_qualifier=0x7fffffffd633) at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:15736 #10 0x0000000000867008 in cp_parser_decl_specifier_seq (parser=0x7ffff7feeb40, flags=1, decl_specs=0x7fffffffd6b0, declares_class_or_enum=0x7fffffffd6ac) at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:12657 #11 0x0000000000866645 in cp_parser_simple_declaration (parser=0x7ffff7feeb40, function_definition_allowed_p=true, maybe_range_for_decl=0x0) at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:12200 #12 0x00000000008665cd in cp_parser_block_declaration (parser=0x7ffff7feeb40, statement_p=false) at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:12147 #13 0x000000000086634f in cp_parser_declaration (parser=0x7ffff7feeb40) at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:12044 #14 0x0000000000865e7b in cp_parser_declaration_seq_opt (parser=0x7ffff7feeb40) at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:11923 #15 0x000000000086e172 in cp_parser_namespace_body (parser=0x7ffff7feeb40) at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:17505 #16 0x000000000086e113 in cp_parser_namespace_definition (parser=0x7ffff7feeb40) at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:17482 #17 0x000000000086624d in cp_parser_declaration (parser=0x7ffff7feeb40) at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:12024 #18 0x0000000000865e7b in cp_parser_declaration_seq_opt (parser=0x7ffff7feeb40) at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:11923 #19 0x0000000000857aaa in cp_parser_translation_unit (parser=0x7ffff7feeb40) at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:4246 #20 0x00000000008993b6 in c_parse_file () at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:37268 #21 0x00000000009b64a4 in c_common_parse_file () at ../../gcc/c-family/c-opts.c:1064 #22 0x0000000000ead6a1 in compile_file () at ../../gcc/toplev.c:464 #23 0x0000000000eafb58 in do_compile () at ../../gcc/toplev.c:1977 #24 0x0000000000eafdd7 in toplev::main (this=0x7fffffffdb10, argc=16, argv=0x7fffffffdc18) at ../../gcc/toplev.c:2084 #25 0x00000000017d099b in main (argc=16, argv=0x7fffffffdc18) at ../../gcc/main.c:39 Martin
