Bug ID: 86984
Summary: invalid relocation accessing a const char arrray
Product: gcc
Version: 9.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: target
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: msebor at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
As discussed here https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2018-08/msg00839.html, the
Alpha back end seems to emit invalid relocations for accesses to constant
arrays in some cases, causing Glibc build failures. This must have been latent
a bug that was triggered by the transformation of braced array initializers to
STRING_CSTs in r263511 as the same issue can be reproduced by replacing the
initializer with a string literal in the test case.
