Bug ID: 68902
Summary: --as-needed consider library as unneeded even when
library have __init functions
Product: gcc
Version: 5.2.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: lto
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: socketpair at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Original bug was reported here:
https://github.com/thom311/libnl/issues/93
libnl3 have such function:
static void __init ct_init(void)
{
nl_cache_mngt_register(&nfnl_ct_ops);
}
so, when this library is loaded it register itself in some global variable for
later access.
When I link against that library, my program does not see that registration
since library just is not linked!
I consider gcc should not eliminate lbraries where __init functions exists.
