Bug ID: 94342
Summary: GCC ignores attribute((section(...))) for static
variables inside templates
Product: gcc
Version: 9.2.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: bikineev at google dot com
Target Milestone: ---
GCC ignores the section attribute for static variables declared inside
templates:
template <typename T>
void Index(int i) {
static int VAR __attribute__((used,section("NEW_SECTION"))) = i;
}
template void Index<int>(int);
Objdump shows that the VAR symbol is still located in .bss (not NEW_SECTION):
objdump -tC result.o
...
0000000000000000 u O .bss._ZZ5IndexIiEviE3VAR 0000000000000004
Index<int>(int)::VAR
...
Tested on gcc-9.2.1. Clang's behaviour is as expected.
